<p>[QUOTE="sand, post: 20798559, member: 118540"]I have my coin collection organized on my computer. I only use very basic computer programs. Microsoft Windows Explorer to create folders and sub-folders. Microsoft Notepad to write down information about each coin. Microsoft Paint to paste screen captures. I prefer not to rely on fancy software, which may eventually become not supported or obsolete.</p><p>On my computer's hard disk, I have a coins folder. In the coins folder, I have a sub-folder for each area of coins : Byzantine, Celtic, China, Greek, Roman_Republic, Roman_Empire, etc.</p><p>In each area sub-folder, I have a bunch of sub-folders, 1 sub-folder for each coin that I own. In each coin sub-folder, I have screen captures that I took, when I purchased the coin, including seller photos and the seller's information about the coin, and the price that I paid. I also have 1 Notepad file (just a plain text file), which contains the coin's attribution, and other information about the coin. I also have screen captures of coins which I don't own, which are of the same type, as the coin that I own, which I have found using ACsearch etc.</p><p>I keep my physical coins in Abafil velvet trays, which are inside of Abafil cases. Except for my Lincoln cent collection, and a few less important US and English coins, which I keep in blue Whitman albums. I don't have any paper cards, or any other physical information about the coins, except for paper receipts and paper invoices, which I keep in a single physical folder in a physical file cabinet. I only have 206 coins in Abafil trays, and my coins which are in blue Whitman albums. Therefore, I can remember some general information about each coin, and I can remember where to find each coin on my computer, for more information about each coin. In my Abafil trays, I group my coins from a particular area (for example, Byzantine) in the same tray.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
