<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2357149, member: 19463&quot;]A large collection is really hard to document in hard copy but a system of the style Steve uses will probably soon strike Steve as less desirable at the rate he is adding coins.&nbsp; I have photos of all my coins on a Nook which is now what I carry to shows.&nbsp; They are sorted into folders and in an order so I can see thumbs and find coins when I need to access them at shows.&nbsp; It would seem someone could develop an app for handling such a collection record much more efficiently than any hard copy or set of file cards could.&nbsp; My problem is that I have been using my basic computer file system for so long that I would want any app to be compatible with it and be able to read the data I typed in over the last 30 years without requiring me to do them all over again.&nbsp; Just making out hand written tags for a large number of coins is a job so I suggest you new to the hobby types to give a lot of thought to what you will want to live with for the long term unless your real hobby is keyboard entry. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think what I would really like is a routine that would allow me to print out a print on demand book more of less like we see for a high end sales catalog.&nbsp; I guess it would be like the old fashioned encyclopedias where you could buy a set of books in 1957 and then get a yearly update book every year thereafter until you decided to thrown them all out and buy the 1987 set etc. etc. etc.&nbsp; I might do something like that for my 100 favorite coins but putting the work into all those coins I never should have bought just is not going to happen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
