<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 344035, member: 4552"]I too am a Excel fan. I've been using it for many years for coins, guns, knives, taxes, etc. With coins I originally attempted to list just about everything possilbe about each coin. I HAD columns for such things as purchase dates, purchase prices, purchased from who or where. However, I ran into a massive problem there since I've been coin collecting for over 60 years. Not that good a memory. Also columns for date, Mint mark, grade, estimated present value. Another problem poped up with me wanting a tabulation of each collection. I now have over 100 Albums and each with a separate spread sheet. Then there are spread sheets for Proof and Uncirc sets from the Mint. Been collecting those since the 50's. many other spread sheets for items like duplicates in 2x2's, rolls of coins, etc. Then I print out each one and also keep back ups on a CD-R and another on one of those little stick things for a USB port. </p><p>To sum up this story, one day I said to myself, SELF, what are you doing and why? So now I just list the date, mint mark and grade. I don't care where I got the coin, how much it cost, what it's worth, etc. Just to old and lazy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
