Digital Pocket Scale Appraisal

Portable Digital Pocket Scale and United States Coin

This image features a portable digital pocket scale, commonly used for high-precision measurement of small items like jewelry, gemstones, or coins. The scale is housed in a black plastic clamshell-style flip case with a metallic stainless steel weighing platform on the left. The right side features a backlit LCD digital display and tactile control buttons labeled 'MODE', 'ON/OFF', and 'TARE'. Printed specifications on the display panel indicate a capacity of 500g and a graduation of 0.01g. The inside of the lid contains a detailed printed instruction manual covering operation, tare functions, and calibration procedures. Atop the weighing platform sits a silver-toned coin, which appears to be a United States 'Standing Liberty' or common bullion type based on the visible 'LIBERTY' text and edge denticles. The scale shows visible signs of surface wear, including scratches on the metal platform and dust accumulation in the crevices of the black plastic casing. The display is illuminate, indicating the device is powered and functional. The compact design and high precision suggest a manufactured date within the last 10 to 15 years, intended for hobbyist or professional trade use.
