Scales

Just bought a set of scales from Amazon. Was not expecting the last thing in accuracy but am very impressed. Weighs 0 to 200g

Meant to have an accuracy of 0.01g does not say if that is at 1g or 200g. All I do know is I weighed 3 1oz coins and all coming out

at 1.003oz which I reckon is a good degeree of accuracy. Especially as they cost all of £7

Sound money is not a guarantee of a free society, but a free society is impossible without sound money. We are currently a society enslaved by debt.

Only does 200g. Though tempted at a trip to Blackpool, might when the lights are on.

We've got our own (scales), and we can leave a light on for you:

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

A 200g is adequate for sovereigns and 1oz(t) gold. Make sure you have calibrated your scales correctly with a 200g steel weight. 0.01g (equivalent  to 100th of a gram) is exactly what you need, to weigh a sovereign. 

A sovereign should weigh in at 7.98+g. New Sovereigns may show 8 g or over. If it dropped below 7.93g it ceased to be legal tender and would be taken out of circulation and melted down. However, even if it was, (eg a Victorian shield-back)  it would probably still have numismatic value!  With 1oz gold Britannias they invariably weigh a little more than the 31.1035 minimum as do all other 9999 coins.

Yes a good idea and they are not expensive either.
