I Need help on what scale to purchase for weighing coins, Really dont want to spend over 100.00. Any feedback will be helpfull.
ebay, jewlery supply places, some hobby stores, gun reloading equipment places, science supply companies and lots more. SHould be able to find a decent one for about $20 and up. I've got several and none are more than $20.
Yeah I got a great one off ebay. Small/compact and weighs in grains,grams and ounces amd is very accurate. Check them out. I paid maybe $50-$60 bucks for it and Iam happy with it.
Weighing Coins? Do you need Pocket scale weigh for coins? 250 grams or more. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9MMcHnmqFU This Pocket Scale Weigh AMW-250:high5: is Less than 50 bucks.
A decent pocket scale runs around $30 on ebay. I've used mine a lot. Easy to calibrate each time you use it and came with 100 grams in weights to do it. And it will accurately read known test weights down to 1 grain (0.064 grams). It couldn't read the 0.5 grain weight. But it's plenty good for my use. Very handy. What I learned looking at scales is that an average scale that weighs in these very small amounts are not that expensive and not a big deal. But they only go up to 100 grams or so. That's 3.2 tr.oz. If you want a scale that will accurately read down to 0.01 grams (or better) AND read heavier weights, (such as up to 1 lb.+), then they get expensive.
I'll be sure and refer back to this in case the one that I have purchased does not work out and ends up for auction. This will be my first scale to mess with for coins.
