<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 2904225, member: 84179&quot;][USER=87375]@Willysilver[/USER]&nbsp; It is important to make sure your scale is calibrated.&nbsp; Sometimes this is difficult if you don&#039;t have the calibration weights.&nbsp; One trick is to weigh 5-10 coins in the weight range you are checking.&nbsp; If you weigh 10 plated lincolns and they all come out around 2.5 (or 2.50 depending on&nbsp; the precision of your balance), then you&#039;re probably OK. If you get some wild numbers or big variations, then you may have a problem</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Doing this won&#039;t calibrate your scale, but it will give you some confidence that it&#039;s giving you an accurate reading.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
