<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 517148, member: 13650&quot;]I&#039;ve discussed mine in depth here in the past so I&#039;ll try to keep this one short.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I use a customized Excel spreadsheet as well.&nbsp; I use separate sheets on the same file and name them per denomination.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Across the top:</p><p>&nbsp; Date, mint mark(MM), Grading Co., Grade, Qty., Prch. Date, Prch. Price,(current) value, and a short comments column at the end.&nbsp;&nbsp; All fits on a page.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;The number columns automatically total.&nbsp; For fun I put a formula in that tallies total bullion content on each sheet as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Another sheet for bullion.&nbsp; Another sheet for World coins.&nbsp; Another sheet for 19th century.&nbsp; Another sheet for commemoratives.&nbsp; I mainly only take pics for the nicer stuff in the commems and 19th century sheets. Reduce the images down to 1x1s (that can be stretched whenever), obv., rev. pics, side by side to the left.&nbsp; Info to the right.&nbsp; I put one generic image at the top of the other sheets and that&#039;s it.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; A lot of the more common stuff I don&#039;t bother with documenting unless it happens to be in a set.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Do what you can handle and what makes sense.&nbsp; If you make it too strenuous and complicated, it will take the fun right out of it.&nbsp; Especially getting started.&nbsp;&nbsp; HTH.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
