I need to purchase a top of the line scale to weigh up to 1oz. Any recommendations?

The better question is how precise and accurate you want the scale to be. Also, I'm assuming you are looking for a digital scale? __________________ I reserve the right to change my mind with new facts, experience, opinions, or viewpoints.

I mainly use a digital balance good to .01 gram, but if needed I have a older Mettler lab balance good to .0001 gram for doing specific gravities and weighing expensive stones, but it is a real pain to use! http://www.scalesgalore.com/acculab_vicon_scales.htm Jim   07-03-2009, 03:51 PM   #4 (permalink) borgovan Supporter**   Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Michigan Posts: 1,356 You might want to check out: http://www.oldwillknott.com/ I purchased my scale from them, and I'm very satisfied.   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
