Ideally, yes, of course. An ounce is an ounce.

In reality, most postal scales are, if you're lucky, accurate enough to keep you from getting your letters returned for insufficient postage. Let's just say there's a reason jewellers use more expensive scales, based on balances or electronic sensors, rather than the spring in your postal scale.

So just because it doesn't show up on the postal scale as exactly the weight it's supposed to be, doesn't mean you've been scammed (or gotten lucky, as the case may be).

How do you weigh a 16th ounce on a scale?

To weigh a 16th ounce on a scale, you would need a scale that measures in fractions of an ounce, such as grams or milligrams. You would place the object on the scale and ensure it is accurately measuring to the 16th of an ounce. If the scale measures in whole ounces, you may need to use a more precise scale or find an object that weighs exactly 1/16th of an ounce to calibrate the scale.
