<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2356331, member: 19463"]This thread has moved in the direction I find most significant. Each must ask why they want the tags. Ken is a dealer and rightly crams a lot of information into a small space for easy transfer to the next owner of the coin. Steve has more information on a larger page. I have all of the information Ken uses but I keep it in the computer database. My tags with the coins have simple ID that would allow me to reunite coin and tag were they to be separated but they do not have all the details. The do include numbers important to me from my file system. Those are the sequential accession number and the order code number that will sort the coins in the order I desire (geographic for Greek, ruler and date for most). I have had to reorder this last number when I get too many similar coins so it can change but the first is the same as long as I own the coin. Sorting on the order number allows a computer report list of the collection which is what I carry to shows in my attempt to avoid buying thigs I already have. That is a problem when you have too many coins and have had some of them too long.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
