<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2532948, member: 19463&quot;]Yes but it is always hard to tell where original size leaves off and weight loss to the ages begins.&nbsp; Also the scales most of us own claim two decimal points but that last one is not accurate or even repeatable according to calibration and whims.&nbsp; My Rhegion fraction weighed just now gave 0.10g and the Syracuse hexas below it 0.09g but both have weighed less on my earlier scales and on this one on other days.&nbsp; I don&#039;t see how calibration can be accurate when it is done with a 100g weight as most do.&nbsp; I would like one that allowed a calibration at something like 5g but getting an accurate standard weight that size would be as expensive as my scales so I make do and say the last digit is meaningless.&nbsp; Just because you buy a standard weight that says x.yzg does not mean that that z is a zero or, for that matter that the y is.&nbsp; The US Mint claims the five cent nickel weighs 5.000g but weigh a handful and tell me how many weight the same even to .01g.&nbsp; Use new nickels so you can&#039;t claim wear.&nbsp; The two I now have in pocket with recent dates were 4.95 and 5.01.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]541597[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]541598[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
