There are lots of them out there. I always recommend using one that will weight to within 0.01 gram. The one I use also weighs in grains if...
It appears there are traces of another 4 under the 4 - and there may be something under the 3. I can't tell for sure though.
It happens with genuine sets, not very often though. The bit about unopened Proof sets - that's pretty much a marketing come on. As for verifying...
