Default I Got my Scale !

Hello,
Through some great advice here I purchased my 1st scale to confirm 1 ounce gold coins. I did not realized that gold is measured by "troy" ounces which less than a US ounce! Still learning about this stuff. I've got all the different weights for a one troy ounce.
1 troy ounce of gold.
1.10 US ounce,
31.10 grams,
480 grains and
155.5 carrots.

Question: How much does the weights in all measurements have to be off before I start questioning if the gold coin is a fake? I would not what to falsely
tell a seller a one ounce coin is counterfeit, when it might not be.

Thank you in advance!
