    It's probably because you have tubes of all kinds

    We are weighing coins removed from their capsules.
    More Pandas being delivered soon so will be weighing them all.

    I definitely get your point. But these are the exact same tubes and indentical capsules. Granted it is just an observation, but it is a poignant one. Just say'n.

    Capsules may appear identical but at the precision we are weighing there will be noticable variations.
    Many caps will be of varying thickness and contain burs etc - all affects the third decimal weighing Toz.
    These caps are mass produced in some type of mold I guess.
