Message:: [QUOTE="Limes, post: 3552280, member: 101013"]I have 63 coins, with at the moment 2 offered for sale. I have no problems yet of categorizing, it is very easy with the amount of coins i have. I have two display trays which can hold 20 coins and a few lose ones. The coins that are not in the displays are lose laid down in my cabinet. Of the 6 planks, i am allowed to have one completely for my coins. The coins are displayed by date, and the 5 Hadrian travel coins are laid down together. I keep the coins with all the info in excel and give them numbers, organized by date of the ruler and I group them by the usual time periods, in sheets in excel: so imperatorial & 12 Caesars, adoptive, severan, constatine. I don't have coins of other periods (perhaps probus, but i put that one with constatine, how convenient), so that's easy. So i have my 'oldest' coin, of Sextus Pompey, in the Imp&12C period, so i gave that no. 1. When i have more coins of the same ruler, like augustus, the first coin i bought is the first numer (in this case, no. 5). The next 5a, then 5b. Well, at least that is the system now, because when i had fewer coins, i just kept numbering. So there is also augustus no. 6, and claudius no. 10 and 11. When i think of it, it makes no sense at all... This is just silly. Ok, now i have to work on a new system......[/QUOTE]
