Today i just bought this scale that weighs a 10th of a gram, and the instrutions say i have to calibrate it with a 100g weight... well i don't have a 100 gram weight... how can i test this to make sure it weighs correct... like what is the weight of say a penny so i can test it that way?

How big is it? Maybe you can take it sportsmart or whatever and use one of their weights.

Actually, I've seen new nickels weigh in at 7 grams, on a calibrated Ohaus Triple Beam.

I love my lab scale. I picked it up in a trade, that I came out on the far better end of. It weighs down to the .01g, and has a balance built into the back. It is so sensitive that it reads a clean, new penny as 2.49 grams but a clean older penny as 2.48g, since the metal has been atrophied due to years in peoples' pockets.
I would recommend these to anyone, especially if you do research or use anything that requires great sensitivity. I have seen affordable deals on both auctions and chemical supplier's web sites for around $150.
