<p>[QUOTE="Sulla80, post: 3881083, member: 99456"]I have a simple system - similar to [USER=44132]@Bing[/USER]. An excel spreadsheet - with images in one column - I have 15 attributes for each coin weight, ruler, denomination, metal, description, source, date acquired, price....Excel is a bit clunky with images but has improved quite a bit in recent versions. File folders of images - organized by major types i.e. Greek, RR, Parthian, Roman Imperial, Other. Description has all of the info I share often on obverse, reverse and references. I also keep relevant reference links to auctions, die matches, a bit klunky but functional. A weakness of the system is the link back to paper which accumulates in a file cabinet (tags, receipts, catalogs, other provenance) - the spreadsheet has accession numbers that I have not applied back to beginning of time.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like the idea of an online catalog, do any have easy ways to upload a collection from a data file? An export capability would also be nice to avoid losing curated data.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
