<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3274554, member: 19463"]There are a hundred scale brands out there and I have been less that fully happy with three I have tried. Consistency is important. If I weigh a coin today at 1.23g. I expect it to be 1.23g. tomorrow and that was beyond the capability of one scale I had (and replaced). I fail to understand the virtue of a calibration system that uses 400g. as a calibration target when 99% of my coins are under 30g. and easily half under 5g. Does no one offer a similar scale targeted to obols rather than aes grave? To calibrate my current scales, I bought two 100g. weights (mine did not go to 400g.) but the pair differed in weight by .02g which would seem to defeat the purpose. No scale I see allows defining a weight other than the maximum and zero. Perhaps this is a featur that will not be found on the under $20 units.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
