<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 4584617, member: 84179&quot;][USER=29239]@rascal[/USER] maybe I can walk you through the scale explanation. In the long post with the scale pics, the OPS said his scale had a resolution of 0.5 grams (it was buried so you might have missed it if you weren&#039;t looking for it).&nbsp; That means the number to right of the decimal point will only read 0 and 5.&nbsp; For weights in the cent range.&nbsp; It will only read 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, or 3.5 grams</p><p><br /></p><p>Any cent that that weighs between 2.750 and 3.249 will display 3.0 on the scale (apologies to the scientists for taking some liberty with significant figures).&nbsp; Think about it.&nbsp; 2.75 grams is a lot different than 3.24 grams, yet both will read 3.0 on the OPs scale.&nbsp; A cent with a machined reverse could easily weigh 2.8 grams but the scale will still show 3.0.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s why people are concerned when you say things like this are &quot;proof&quot;.&nbsp; Hope this explanation helps.&nbsp; Members don&#039;t want to slam you.&nbsp; They just want to make sure new collectors get accurate information.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
