Accurate Scales

[Rains]

Hello can anyone recommend some accurate scales with calibration weight. would rather pay for a decent set then some cheap generic Chinese ones Thanks in advance

These are some of the most accurate scales that don't break budgets out there.

If you want to go proper budget and get 0.001g accuracy with a calibration weight included, https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08BHQB6J3

I have these for personal use and they accurately measure another set of different sized calibration weights, so that's good enough for me.

This demonstrates how friendly and helpful TSF members can be, however...

I was looking for some which we could use to accurately check:

10Kg silver coins

10Kg gold coins

Various monster boxes of gold, silver and platinum coins

100 ounce silver bars

1000 ounce silver bars...

Any suggestions?

Is it hard being you? I feel sometimes it must be hard for you to get up in the morning 🙂

You offering to go round to Chards and "weigh" his coins and bars? Nice!

It is, to both points.

I'm getting used to it, but it's a very slow process!

Back in the "good old days", we used to handle carry a number of mint bags of coins, approx 11 Kgs each. We often had to weight them accurately. Appropriate digital scales were well over £1000 each, and even analog balances were not cheap.

I also used to carry up to 4 mint sacks at a time, but I would not recommend it.

In the pre'47 silver days, we also used to pack 5 similar sacks in strong cardboard boxes, well-taped up, then roll them down our stairs at Lytham Road, before manhandling them into the car to take to the airport, so about 55Kgs per package. It saved a fortune going to weight training sessions at the gymn.
