<p>[QUOTE="fiddlehead, post: 1330575, member: 31286"]I'm a little less fastidious about printing and storing my receipts for the more common, i.e., less expensive coins, But I do have them digitally. I actually enjoy keeping track of them - and all my other collections - in an excel spreadsheet. In a way that's the only way I display them since I don't like albums and I like to keep the better coins in a safety deposit box anyway. So well organized pictures (digital) and the spreadsheet is what I have. It's been great fun assembling these coins. I collected pocket knives for many years - vintage stuff in really good condition. It's always fun to assemble a comprehensive set of some kind - for example, I have a complete frame/model type set of Kabar dog's head folding knives from the 30's - it's only 9 pieces . I'm attracted to the Carson City mint coins because there's a limited number to gather and there's great history to it. I'm wary of having a collections that are so open ended that they never can be completed in any way and so there's no end to the expense - kind of like owning a Victorian house - which I also have (hard on the budget, that's for sure).</p><p><br /></p><p>Doug[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
