[QUOTE="spotco2, post: 391806, member: 15035"]I've been a bullion buyer for a few years and have started to dabble in numismatics. I'm also an anal retentive, neat frek when it comes to inventory and stacking. Everything has to be grouped, everything has to be stacked and EVERYTHING has to be inventoried. Here's where my "issues" come into play. Bullion is easy to sort but numixmatic coins are driving me completely insane. How do you folks that have been collection for a while sort everything out? Country, then currency, then year, then denomination? Sguare tubes, flips, cardboard holders, Zip-Lock® bag's? Here's a pretty generic example. Let's say that you have 150 Morgans in all different conditions and in several different types of holders. DO you break it down by grade, then year and mint and put the circulated in square tubes and gradable in airtites? Currently, I would seperate them by gradable or circulated. Gradable into air tites and circulated into square tubes sorted by year and mint mark. I typically will have 2 or 3 different years in each tube with a little room for expansion so I can add one or two without much trouble. The problem is when I get handfull of circulated that is supposed to be in the middle of tubes and then I have to start adding more and more tubes and rolls. I've got about $6k face of US coins that I have accumulated and another 500ish foreign coins that I am sorting. I am going to need some serious mental counselling if I don't get a system figured out soon. :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:[/QUOTE]
