Keeping track of your coins.

What is everyone doing to keep track of the coins they have? Do you have a note book with everything in it or a spreadsheet?

Simple Excel spreadsheet.

 

My own Excel Spreadsheet.

I wonder what the average size of a Cointalk member's collection is???

 

Yep, Excel (or some other spreadsheet).
You can tailor it to your exact wants and needs.
Or if you want to spend a LOT of time you can get a databasing application (Access?)

 

I used to use Excel but as my collection grew I converted to a specialized piece of software called Collector's Assistant. It is reasonably priced, kept up to date and is pretty feature rich. I currently have 6800 coins in my collection.

 

Box #1, Box #2, Box #3, etc., etc., etc.

i use "Coin Manage Deluxe" for most part and exel for all purchases..

 

I used to use Exel. I liquidated most of my collection several years ago and didn't update the data base so, being lazy, I enter each new acquisition into a notebook.

I use excel to track my tokens. It works well enough for what I need.

For my ancients I created a database in Microsoft Access.

 

My specialized excel spread sheet

 

Uh oh. I better start. I'm at a stage where it will be manageable to begin registering them into some type of cataloging system. I won't be able to remember exactly when or even how I got many of them.

 

I like the excel idea! What information would you put in it? Any examples?

I use a sophisticated excel spreadsheet program for Bullion. For my coins pen and paper because it's pretty small. It will grow an I will convert to excel

 

I use the free NGC collection manager,(thru the registry) It does everything I need and then some.

 

What do you collect?

For my tokens this is how it's organized, from left to right:
Page # | Cunningham # | Base | face value | obverse | reverse | material | shape | color | notes

 

Bigger than your spouse thinks you should have...room for expansion according to you.

 

desk, drawer, etc.
