[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3549057, member: 56859"]I organize mine by general category: Greek, Roman Republic and Imperatorial, Roman Provincial, Roman Egypt (they are provincial but I have so many that they warranted a separate category), Roman Imperial, Byzantine, and Miscellaneous. The Roman Republic and Imperatorials are arranged by Crawford number, the Roman Egypt coins by Emmett number, Roman Imperial by Emperor and RIC number, and Byzantines by Sear number. Because Greek and Roman Provincial cover a much broader range and are without a single-source reference (RPC not withstanding and it is incomplete), those categories get sorted more or less by [URL='http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=eckhel']Eckhel's order of listing[/URL], which is the order of presentation followed by many auction companies, catalogs, and references. I have mixed feelings about this order and might change to an alphabetical sorting based on region, and within the region, alphabetical. [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/img_3198-jpg.714654/[/IMG] Or you could just add your latest method on to your [I]last[/I] big thread about your latest greatest organization system :D. Storage and organization are an ever-evolving process for most of us :).[/QUOTE]
