<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4022314, member: 19463"]Since I collect so generally, I have trouble finding a system that works the same for all of the sections. I like the idea of following the order of a trusted book but that will require reordering your coins every time there is a new expert revision. My answer has been to separate by metal, by mint, and by order as presented in my favorite book and to live with the fact that everything is not going to be up to date. I find the latest theories of order interesting but not something I see as permanent to be followed slavishly. The important thing is I can find my coins when I am looking for them. That almost makes me want to switch to alphabetical but I have not yet gone that far.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
