<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hispanicus, post: 2429916, member: 72626&quot;]Nicholasz219, </p><p>For measuring I use a 6 inch steel pocket ruler rhat you can get at any hardware store for a couple of bucks. The non-inch side is graduated in millimeters and I just eyeball the short and long diameters, listing both in any written description. My backround includes some precision metal fabrication and I think that dealers sometimes over do it a bit with measurements to the hundredth of a millimeter, especially since ancient coins are rarely round.</p><p><br /></p><p>My scale is an old powder scale but I wouldn&#039;t recommend that route because its units of measurement are in grains (an older pharmacutical unit) and you&#039;ll end up having to convert ro grams. </p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helps[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
