Hi guys. This next weekend I plan on attending a coin show with the sole purpose of looking at ancient coins. Any recommendations for a good scale to use at a show? Thanks for your time guys!
I got a small pocket digital scale off amazon for less than 15 bucks. It hasn't steered me wrong yet.
Copied from this thread: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/ca...-coin-scale-and-calipher.314713/#post-3054021 And here's what I posted last year re: a scale. Price has gone up but I am still happy with it. The readings I get on my coins are very close or exact to the readings on dealer tags that come with my purchased coins. I bought this ridiculously cheap digital scale not knowing what kind of quality it would be. I've had it for a few months and am quite pleased with it for my light hobbyist use. Its readings are consistent with those provided by the pros for coins I own. I did buy a 200 g. weight for calibration, but that was only about $5 more. I think this same scale is manufactured overseas and various distributors slap their own name on it. But it's been a good budget purchase for me.
