Message:: [QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 781438, member: 4552"]I used to do that a long, long time ago. I had many mishaps where I would either loose the list, forget it in a pants pocket, shirt pocket and it would end up in a washing machine. So naturally over time I learned that I should put it in a place where nothing could happen like that. Naturally, I never could remember where that was. Every once in a while I still find one from many years ago. I started to use Excel. NO, nothing like the one shown previously here. I would never spend that much time on a spread sheet. I just started with a spread sheet with columns for type, dates, Mint, purchase price, grade and many other items. I used to print these out. One sheet for each Album. However, over time, with now well over 100 Albums, boxes full of plastic rolls of coins, proof and uncirc sets from possilbly the beginning of time, many of those Whitman two row boxes full of 2x2's, the ability to even continue all that info per coin would take the rest of my life. For example I recently counted 2,650 1943 Steel Cents, well over 3,000 Mercury Dimes and lots more STUFF. Now I'm back to a piece of paper with a list of coins I need, page 1, coins I want, page 2, possible coins, page 3.[/QUOTE]
