Every coin collector should own a set of digital scales ! Fake coins are quite rare, but for peace of mind it's important to be able to check that your purchases are the weight that they should be.
(Even freshly minted coins can be 1% below their designated weight due to manufacturing tolerances, and well-worn circulated coins may be as much as 6% underweight. However, fakes that I have encountered have been over 20% underweight, therefore easily detected by weighing.)
Manufactured by VAPOURON, these scales have 100 gram (3.275 troy ounce) capacity , with the following modes / accuracies:
0.01 Gram
0.001 Standard (Avoirdupois) Ounce (oz)
0.001 Troy Ounce (ozt)
0.01 Pennyweight (dwt)
0.01 Carat (ct)
0.1 Grain (gn)
