When I was looking for a milligram (0.001g) scale, there were lots and lots with 30-gram capacity, which of course wasn't enough for...
A hundred fairly-new nickels is probably easiest, but that's definitely the wrong scale for weighing individual coins. I'd say don't knock...
Well, that one looks like someone was scratching at the surface of the coin pretty hard. Wonder if the struck-through foreign material was still...
Unfortunately, they probably see it as "reducing their listing counts and sales volume". :(

Are you figuring you'll need extra room for all those digits in the price?
Hey, good to see you back! :)
Actual value around 25 cents each, based on current copper spot price.
Now, that's hardcore. ;)
To convince themselves that they weren't stealing.
Color is off, as though the zinc diffused into the copper -- I wonder if they melted? It doesn't take much to melt zinc, and the copper plating is...
