If I calibrated my scales with nickels is it accurate?

    I don't mean perfect, but will give me a good idea of how much bud is in front of me? (Ex. I really get 2.8 but it weighs out at 2.6)

    I just ordered a weight off Ebay, but it won't come for some time.

    I usually see people use a brand new nickel when they calibrate. I've been told the weight of a nickel is good to weight out

    I have done this for years. 5 is what I usually go for. Depends on how old the nickel is.

    It won't be 100% right but it will be about right. The best way is obviously with a calibration weight but if you don't have you that should suffice.
