A 0.01 g precision scale is the baseline tool to confront nominal silver weight: plated brass fakes often miss weight before you spot color issues. A kitchen scale ±1 g is useless when a single gram matters on troy ounces.
Centigram resolution surfaces subtle deviations from wrong alloy or extreme wear. Pair with diameter/thickness checks—but without weight, you fly half blind.
