I take high resolution scans of my coins and save them in a coin file and folders on my computer,I then crop the die markers and save pix to attribute my collection matched to certified coins I find on the internet. Sometimes when the need arises I photoshop the colors to bring out the details and die cracks,mostly on old large cents. Does anybody else keep a computer file like this ?
Yes, I have some 4gb of coin related files alone... if this keeps going on for years, I might need an external hdd for my coins alone.
I have my "Coins" folder on my desktop and it has numerous subfolders and sub-subfolders that hold ALL my coin related stuff--mostly photos but plenty of documents too. Just checked and the total size of my "Coins" folder is 3.56 GB.
I only wish they had this technology when I started. I started doing this with software years ago and threw in the towel as it were. Too many coins and, unfortunately by my own fault, too much disorganization. Maybe one of these days.....
