<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 8058698, member: 100459"]I am sure that most coin collectors have misplaced a coin or two over the years. I lost a coin a few years ago, and recently found it. Anyway, in order to TRY to have a system of keeping up with my coins, etc. I bought some boxes a few years ago that I bought for keeping my model magazines in. After while, I disposed of the boxes. In an effort to find a way to use the boxes, I decided to have a box for each year the coins were purchased. I also decided to maintain a binder of all the documentation of each coin that purchased that year. All gold coins are physically keeped in my safe. As a retired accountant, I am used to maintaining detailed documentation. For each year, I start off by printing the U.S. Mint Schedule each year. I include all the documentation of each coin in order of the date ordered as well as the date it was shipped. Since the Mint doesn't keep the date the coin is received, I enter the date I received it. I keep the Mint's Packing Slip/Return Label for each coin with the all of the other coin documentation. I would send a copy of one of my EXCEL spreadsheets, but there is too much information that would interest someone.</p><p>Anyway, I didn't start this process until I started my purchase of the Mint coins in 2008. That binder is Book 1, Years 2008-2016, up to Book 5, Year 2021. I've set up Book 6, Year 2022. Since the Mint has already sent out their Product Schedule for 2022, I have started Book 6, Year 2022.</p><p>Since I set up my system, I've have not lost any coins. If anyone has any recommendations to improve my system, I would appreciate your help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
