[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 1054983, member: 15199"][LEFT][COLOR=#000000] My suggestion to answer the specific question , as I suspect any software program ( no matter how complete) nor spreadsheet listing, etc, would be easy for your estate. Plan ahead. Have an ID number on each coin holder or album, then over time, take about 100 or more and video yourself telling about each coin or album: type, grade, cost, your idea of value, where it will be, etc. If you have collections in albums it will also go fast. Most of the solution with estates is to have the item and general valuation, as if it has to be divided among several people, and they don't know about coins, they can pick them into parcels about the same value and all will feel equal. If it is a humongous estate and subject to taxes, then the appraisal will generally be done by an apporved appraiser rather than a self made spread sheet. Ask your family if seeing a video would be easier than trying to use a computer program and then find the coin, etc. IMO. Jim [/COLOR][/LEFT][/QUOTE]
