[QUOTE="Sholom, post: 812860, member: 17753"]Thanks. Yes -- the key is that I'm not really weighing anything, only comparing weights that are different -- so I can jury-rig it anyway I want -- so long as i calibrate it. You're right that the weights have to be different enough. Note, my little machine works great when comparing zinc cents to copper ones (2.5 grams compared to 3.1 grams). One would have to be more sensitive in comparing silver and clad dimes, as the weights are much closer (2.27 vs 2.5 grams).[/QUOTE]
