<p>[QUOTE="trickys, post: 489156, member: 11215"]Yes that's what I was getting at - my spreadsheet is setup with numerous worksheets, one for each type of coin, such as "Lincoln Cents", "Indian Cents", "Canadian Cents", etc. The info I track per worksheet is pretty basic - "Year / Variety", "Grade", "Date Obtained", "Cost", "Est. Value", "Notes" - which are the column headings I use. Setting this up doesn't take long at all - just a few minutes. It's the actual cataloging which takes time (the first time you set it up anyway, as presumably that's the time when you will have the most coins for which to enter information). But once you've set it up, maintaining it is easy.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other nice thing about using Excel is that it has survived numerous operating systems & platforms over the years, and likely won't be obsolete any time soon. I've never had to re-do my catalog <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
