My suggestion would be to calibrate your scale against known weights, including other US Coins. Standard nickels weigh 5 gm, cents dated 1983 and later are 2.5, dimes are 2.27, quarters 5.67 and dollars 8.1 gm.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

A nickel weighs about 5 grams, but the scale may show 7g due to variations in calibration or slight inaccuracies in the scale's measurement.
