<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 743456, member: 112"]You also have to realize that the majority of scales you would buy are not the precision instrunments you might think they are. They are all going to be off a little. But a good rule of thumb is that if the coin is within 1% of legal weight then that coin is OK weight wise. Just remember that more, or less, than that is cause for some concern. And - the correct weight, while an indicator of authenticity, is not proof of authenticity.</p><p><br /></p><p>And coins, even well worn coins, should still be very close to the correct weight. Coins actually lose very little weight due to wear.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
