<p>[QUOTE=&quot;archicard, post: 2356858, member: 57124&quot;]It has been really fun reading all of the different approaches that everyone uses. I have picked up a couple of pointers too. Unfortunately I don&#039;t have the space to adopt stevex6&#039;s method nor the time and patience for tif&#039;s, however I think that they are both fantastic. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Dougsmit&#039;s point about letting the card (or lack thereof) serve the desired need of the user is a good one. Since I am relativity new to collecting ancients (2 years or so), I wanted to avoid leaving out information that I would someday want to include on a tag. When I first started I didn&#039;t see the need to include size and weight but now find that information valuable. </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s true that all of this information will be housed in a spreadsheet database but for my needs it would be handy to have most of it on a tag in a 2x2 flip with the coin. I collect ancients with my daughter and she enjoys pulling out a couple of coins and reading about them. Having to go to a spreadsheet to find out more about the coin would get in the way of our fun.</p><p><br /></p><p>We have picked up a couple of coins that at one time were sold by Littleton. They usually have tags with a light historical background on the emperor or ruler. While short on technical information, my daughter enjoys reading these the most. So I guess I need to devise a hybrid system. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]480370[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
