<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed Snible, post: 2712410, member: 82322&quot;]I also recently bought calipers.&nbsp; I bought two kinds.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;6 Inch Carbon Fiber Composite Vernier Digital Caliper Ruler With Big Screen&quot; for $9 from Amazon and &quot;iGaging 8&quot; Digital Outside Calipers&quot; for $26.</p><p><br /></p><p>The $9 calipers are very convenient.&nbsp; I am now recording the diameter of my coin to 1/10 of a millimeter.&nbsp; Because they are carbon fiber I feel they don&#039;t scratch coins.&nbsp; The downside is that I chose this caliper because it promised to include a depth gauge, but didn&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t give a full review of the $9 calipers until the battery wears out and I have replaced it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The $26 outside calipers are not convenient to take the diameter of coins.&nbsp; Their only use is to take the thickness of cupped scyphate coins.&nbsp; The outside calipers I chose are also accurate to 1/10 mm.&nbsp; I have only been using them for very thin coins, and it is somewhat frustrating to have all of my coins at .3 or .4mm.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
