[QUOTE="Bacchus, post: 22036, member: 759"][i]From another thread here, my results:[/i] Well, I did it: I sprung for a scale. I got the one from Amos Advantage: [url]http://www.amosadvantage.com:80/sco...art%5Fno=&Tab=c[/url] and I'm very happy with it. Measures up to seven or eight ounces. Can display in grams, ounces, troy ounces, or pennyweight. Grams down to 0.1 g. Comes with a 200g weight for calibration. Also provides assurance the scale doesn't need calibration: every time I fire it up, it measures 200.0 g with the weight. You can also zero it out with a weight applied; for example, a small container. Then the display reflects the weight of the item in the container (and not the weight of the container). The web site shows a price of $150, but if you subscribe to Coin World Amos sells it for $125. I bought it to verify authenticity of gold coins I buy, but I also found it useful in my pocket change penny collection to figure out which 1982 cents are copper and which are copper-coated zinc.[/QUOTE]
