<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 136928, member: 4552&quot;]Agreed. A very accurate scale is nice to have but no big thing. You must remember that as a coin wears, it looses material and that means loss of weight. Weighing a 1914D Lincoln would accomplish very little as to figuring out if a fake or not. Most are made by removing part of a 4 to change from 44 to 14. Any weight loss could be attributed to overall wear of the coin. </p><p>A scale would be helpful in determining the difference between the different 1982 Lincolns though. However, the cheapest balance scale could do that or just an ice cream bar stick balanced over a pencil. </p><p>Many years ago I purchased several really accurate scales but not for coins. I&#039;ve never used them for coins yet except for the 1982 Lincolns. Nice way to accumulate products for checking out coins but unless your going into the buisness, I suggest using the money to buy a coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
