<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 3466624, member: 13650&quot;]Your scale is likely advertised as being accurate +/- 0.01.&nbsp; So a 0.02 difference would be normal and pretty much meaningless for coin purposes.&nbsp;&nbsp; You can buy check weights down to the gram or fractions of a gram.&nbsp; These would be good for verifying how it does measuring the lightest of weights.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; Even if you had a perfect scale, coin weights fluctuate due to wear and imperfect original planchets.&nbsp;&nbsp; Theres a spread the planchets could fall into and still be within tolerance.&nbsp; Its not very much but enough where it can show up on a scale.&nbsp; Now add normal wear and you can drop the original weight significantly from freshly minted.&nbsp; When you see a slick coin that material went somewhere. Its not on the coin anymore.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
