Weight calibration!!!!

Folks just bought new scales and the dirty bastards have not included the calibration weight so can anyone tell me the weight of some coins (UK Sterling) so I can check it out.

Hurry folks! No one round here got a few coins and a set of scales to answer me

i dno about UK coins, but if you can scrounge up some US nickels, they weigh 5g each

Hay thanks for the help mate.... unfortunately a dont have any US coins but nice to see folk helping fellow hobbyists

also, try looking in a store for something that shows a weight on it, most items list weights, u might be able to find something that adds up good

i think 1 pence is 3 gram

Hey a penny is 3.5g and a 2p is 7.0g depending on how clean they are...altho I believe this you already know
