[QUOTE="cmezner, post: 3466501, member: 87809"]Has anyone consistency issues with your digital scale? For a coin I measured e.g. 2 months ago, when I measure the same coin today I get differences in the second digit after the decimal point and the differences can obviously propagate to the first decimal digit or even to the units. The weight is consistent for some coins but not for all of them and the difference is not the same for different coins. I always use the scale on the same table and before use, I leave it to acclimate to normal room temperature, but last time I used it it was during winter and now it is supposed to be spring (however it is snowing today...) I am using this scale, which I got from Amazon: Flexzion Jewelry Scale Digital Mini Diamond Gold Coin Small Items Weight Gram Weigh Pocket Tool LCD Display 300g x 0.01g Precision Portable 7 Unit Switch Silver and I calibrated it with a 200g calibration weight. Is this inconsistency normal for this kind of scales, is something wrong with the scale or am I doing something wrong?:confused:[/QUOTE]
