<p>[QUOTE=&quot;karrlot, post: 144272, member: 4476&quot;]I collect world coins.&nbsp; Most of my coins are worth BV of the zinc/copper/brass they are made of.&nbsp; I would guess I have between 2500 - 3000 coins.&nbsp; They are all kept in 2x2&#039;s, in 20 pocket pages, in three ring binders.&nbsp; I&#039;ve got probably 20 binders that are for just one country, (some of two or three binders) and tthen if there is not enough of one country to justify its own binder, it goes into the binders that are alphabetical listings of countries.&nbsp; Each 2x2 has the country, denomination, year, and KM or Y#.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I tried keeping track of them on excell, and also with a list in each binder.&nbsp; That was just more trouble than it was worth.&nbsp; The easiest way I found to keep track of what I have, is just to put a mark next to it in my Krause cataloge.&nbsp; I can easily see what I have, if I am missing something.&nbsp; It requires zero effort because I&#039;m already going to the catalog to get the KM number.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;If I need to take it somewhere, I can just make a photo copy of the page that I am working on - like if I am looking for Canadian quarters, I just copy that page and go.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The only problem that I am running into is that my Krause is about 8 years old, now I am going to run into the problem of having to get a new edition, and then go back and remark everything that I have.&nbsp; Thats the only down side.&nbsp; When I redo it, I&#039;m going to come up with a system to indicate if I have a coin but it is low grade so it can be upgraded. </p><p><br /></p><p>This works for me, because I only collect by date/denomination/mintmark.&nbsp; If I collected by varieties it wouldn&#039;t work.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
