<p>[QUOTE="red_spork, post: 2273841, member: 74282"]One thing I recommend is flip tags, you don't necessarily have to buy them but I recommend figuring them out before you have a ton of coins. I keep all the data in a spreadsheet as well, but I also keep a tag with every coin that has the full attribution, provenance, catalog numbers, any comments(i.e. "overstruck on X", "banker's marks"). I don't buy them, I simply print mine off on standard paper and fold them over, but others buy specific paper or just buy pre-cut tags and handwrite them. Here is an example of one of mine.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]453230[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The front of the tag(when holding the flip unopened the front is facing the same direction as the obverse of the coin) has the important "at a glance" info, the back has the full attribution/ID like I'd post on here when sharing a coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
