[QUOTE="sunflower, post: 1344045, member: 23219"]I use to write everything down. Then about two years ago, I stopped. Right now, I am in the process of sorting coins within the 5 Safety deposit boxes I have. I have misplaced two old gold francs at the house, but otherwise, they are all at another box in a another town. With the silver, I sort all $1.00 denomination of the loose sort in one box. I sort all the half dollar denominations in another, etc. As I presort, I use canvas bags to hold the coins. The plan after sorting is to list by date. That will leave me with a inventory. I keep copies of my receipts when buying. I might start writing the price paid for a coin on the packages I store them in. I don't want to write on slabs, but would like to keep the price closer to them in the event my heirs sell and have to pay a ton on taxes.[/QUOTE]
