Use excel...it is easy and you an make it do anything you want

 

Midas is right use Excel.

 

Spidey Man.. Excel is the way to go.. you can even put in formulas to track your initial investment, costs for supplies, books..whatveer you want. You can even add in pictures, create charts showing what you have or need.. it is a very powerful spreadsheet...Good luck..

 

Hey, "if it is easy, it's not worth doing" (Dilbert I think, or his pointy-haired boss). Use Access - you can spend few pleasant days programming input forms, integrity constraints and somesuch. In the end you will get the same think you coud get playing with Excel for 5 minutes...

 

hmmmmm, this didnt work out, i thought that every 1 would lean to one side

 

I would (here I go again) get a Red Book and use the page of Nickels and check off the dates as you get them...it makes for a nice list.

ya but then every year i would have to transfer all of it

 

Excel is okay, but it's only a spreadsheet. If you know how to use a database program, that would be better.

 

I prefer and use "Collector's Assistant Plus" software to track my collections. Pretty much everything that pertains to US coins, mintage, value, dates, my investment costs plus the current value of the collections. Can be backup to cd or DVD. Around $70.00. For an extra $40.00 or so you can purchase the Grading Assistant that works with the collector program.

 

No you wouldn't---at the bottem of the page there is a little bit of room where you could keep it up todate...also it has all of the other coins in it so you could keep track of all of your coins.
