<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3553359, member: 19463&quot;]Since computers like to alphabetize things, I suggest making things easy on them.&nbsp; Rather than starting with 1, start with R001001.0000 so at a later date when you discover you accidentally&nbsp; became a specialist in something you can have a lot of sub groups and even multiples of the same coin.&nbsp; Today, you think you know what you will be up to in 2050 and I once thought my collection would fit in a smaller box, too.&nbsp; If you are right, nothing is lost by having a few unused numbers.&nbsp; Below is a photo of my newly purchased rd0052nt3485.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]944439[/ATTACH] </p><p>&#039;rd&#039; section is my code for Pertinax, Didius family, Pescennius and Clodius Albinus.&nbsp; I doubt I will ever run out of numbers for that group but re, rf, rg, rh, ri and rj are all Septimius broken into groups that made sense to me when I was buying every coin of his I could find in the 1990&#039;s.&nbsp; I change the &#039;nt&#039; code when I make a major change to my lighting or camera equipment so I can tell which coins were recently reshot.&nbsp; Whatever the subject, photographers tend to have more photos on their drives than they can find easily.&nbsp; It is always easier to have too many available numbers than to have to add the 1000th coin to a three digit system.</p><p><br /></p><p>My system fits me.&nbsp; Your system needs to fit you for many tomorrows.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
