GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 06/14/2010 11:10 pm I am putting a list together for a coin show this week. I have been thinking of buying a coin scale. Does anyone have some pro's and con's for a good scale? Any certain brand or features to look for? Report this Post to the Staff

This is what I use: http://cgi.ebay.com/DigiWeigh-DW-10...em1c135a54e7 I've independently verified it's accuracy and resolution, and it does what they say it will. Couldn't recommend it more highly as a coin scale. When weighing coins, I tare in a piece of lens-cleaning paper. The coin sits on that, rather than on the actual metal of the scale.

So far I've purchased several different scales and regardless of cost, their results vary to much after a while. For some reason they are all great at first then start to waver in their results. One came from a scientific supply house, one from a jewlery place, a few from other sources. Then I said to myself, SELF, why bother weighing coins? So I don't anymore. Report this Post to the Staff
