<p>[QUOTE="Rhino89, post: 1054420, member: 21773"]The best advice I have for you is to use a coin collecting software to document every coin or note in your collection and ensure that all the important information is there when it comes time to sell or split up the collection. Basically you (or a family member, if you're gone)will be able to open up a program, scroll through lists of coins with images, all the basic info on each coin, and then it'll also let you put in fields like "Date acquired", "price paid", and "value" or "comments" etc. etc. where basically anyone opening it up will be able to see your assessment of every coin's value and everything they need to know about it without having to go through the learning process that you did to become a collector.</p><p> </p><p>My best experience has been with a program from Compass Collectables, I've been using it for my coin and banknote collection, and I think it's great.
