You are buying gold at multi-thousands of dollars an ounce, using a scale that was clearly also used to weigh Roman trophy gold.

Just sell it using the same scale and you will be just fine.

Instrument A read 2X the value of instrument B.  Instrument C read 1/2 the value of instrument B.   Called the calibration lab and said WTF?  Their response  -  tell us which one is right and we'll be happy to adjust them all to read the same!

 Man with one watch always knows the time. Man with two is never quite sure.
