<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Carausius, post: 2455077, member: 76440&quot;]I store my coins in Abafil trays, but I maintain collection records in a custom-designed Access database. With the click of a button from my database program, I print abbreviated tray tags (on acid free paper) and full-description 2x2 flip tags, both including full provenance info. The tray tag goes underneath the coin, while the flip tag goes in an empty 2x2 flip with all dealer and collector tags relating to the coin. The flips are stored in &quot;coin number&quot; order in cardboard coin boxes. Both my tray tags and my flip tags have a &quot;coin number&quot; on them which matches the number assigned to the coin in my database. When I sell a coin, it goes in its 2x2 flip with all the previous tags. However, my tray tags also contain full provenance info. My goal is that my coins will never be separated from their provenance during my lifetime, and, hopefully, the lifetime of the next custodian who gets the benefit of my tags. We owe it to the future of our hobby to maintain good provenance records and to link those records to the coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
