<p>[QUOTE="Seattlite86, post: 3424937, member: 59737"]I would not buy anything less than .01 and recommend .001, as it has a far better accuracy. Also, consider the gram amount. I'd also recommend 50g. Ike dollars weigh almost 25g, so a 20g scale will limit you there, and ASEs weigh 31.1g, so a 30g scale will limit you there as well. I looked at the one I purchased and it seems to be cheaply made, but more expensive compared to some of the $20 models I've seen. I see no reason not to pick up one of the cheaper ones, but make sure it can be calibrated, and buy calibration weights, if they do not come with them. I don't remember when/why I selected the model I have, but I like it, it's a mini-pro 50gx.001 and comes with calibration weights. Here's one, for example, that seems to do the trick: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D4F9BRG/ref=sspa_dk_detail_2?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B07D4F9BRG&pd_rd_w=ZFoSc&pf_rd_p=733540df-430d-45cd-9525-21bc15b0e6cc&pd_rd_wg=THXV2&pf_rd_r=WKJB1NDZWX6S074S1E8H&pd_rd_r=577902c2-4bdb-11e9-96ba-09dd5d4e5c18" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D4F9BRG/ref=sspa_dk_detail_2?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B07D4F9BRG&pd_rd_w=ZFoSc&pf_rd_p=733540df-430d-45cd-9525-21bc15b0e6cc&pd_rd_wg=THXV2&pf_rd_r=WKJB1NDZWX6S074S1E8H&pd_rd_r=577902c2-4bdb-11e9-96ba-09dd5d4e5c18" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D4F9BRG/ref=sspa_dk_detail_2?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B07D4F9BRG&pd_rd_w=ZFoSc&pf_rd_p=733540df-430d-45cd-9525-21bc15b0e6cc&pd_rd_wg=THXV2&pf_rd_r=WKJB1NDZWX6S074S1E8H&pd_rd_r=577902c2-4bdb-11e9-96ba-09dd5d4e5c18</a> (but note: battery operated).</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The photo below isn’t of my scale and not the one linked. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]909429[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
