Scale for weighing gold sovereigns (and maybe more)


thanasis

Recommended Posts

Hello forum members.

As part of embarking on the sensational adventure which is collecting/stacking sovereigns, I am thinking of investing on a quality precision scale. My main focus was on purchasing an electronic one which has a .001g subdivision. Is that an overkill or should I pay attention to other parameters? Also, can you recommend a scale based on personal experience?

@richatthecroft Those are perfectly adequate scales, but I have found them to require self calibration a number of times which can be really fiddly. 

If you are wanting a really good set of reliable scales with perfect calibration go for a https://www.adamequipment.co.uk/ branded scale. 

Perfect, but more expensive!

I have a 15 quid set from eBay that came with a Calibration weight.  
 

The one I had previously read ever so slightly differently each time I weighed the same coin.  Ones with a calibration weight are much better.

Hmmm...I think I will stick to a branded quality scale as long term investment.

@BackyardBullion I don't know why, but the site from the link you gave has a weird photo of a baby on a scale and that got me laughing 🤣

AND I BET YOU TRIED TO SEE WHAT THE PRICE WAS!!!

It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.
