Message:: [QUOTE="Collect89, post: 2273980, member: 15445"]Red Spork has a really nice 2x2 label system. I do something similar on plain paper which is cut to 4” x 2” and & folded to 2x2.  On the inside of my resulting 2x2 I keep all the previous owner’s tags.  Those tags should be kept IMHO.[ATTACH=full]453289[/ATTACH] If the coin is in a slab, then the 2x4 label does not get folded:[ATTACH=full]453290[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]453288[/ATTACH]The inside of my folded 2x2 includes my basic contact data and the price paid & date the coin was purchased.  The price paid is typically hand written in a code.  The date purchased & the amount paid may be very important to you someday if you really have to calculate profit/loss. Do you have a code that you might use to secretly note prices paid?  Some folks pick a 10 character word or combination of words and make each letter represent the ten digits. [Example: "Neighborly" N=1, E=2, I=3, ......Y=0].  I know one dealer that uses Greek letters (his code was too easily cracked). I guess my main recommendations are (1) keep all the previous owner’s tags and (2) note the price & date paid. Have fun collecting ancient coins & ancient books.[/QUOTE]
