Message:: [QUOTE="red_spork, post: 2658773, member: 74282"]This is what my spreadsheet looks like. I do it all in Google docs so I can easily add/view info on the go. All of my RR coins are cataloged by Crawford number basically, though some not-in-Crawford types are just "cf. [Crawford number]". Every coin gets a sequential 4-digit number that gets reset every year, i.e. so my first coin of 2017 was JMR170001. The "type" column also has a macro setup so that when I insert AE or AR at the beginning it colors the cell either brown or grey mostly just because I felt like just black and white text was boring.[ATTACH=full]589443[/ATTACH] You'll notice I don't have any pictures in the spreadsheet itself and that is intentional because I generally have multiple relevant pictures or scans for each coin and those are all kept on my dropbox. Here's what one such folder looks like:[ATTACH=full]589444[/ATTACH] included are: scans of all tags that came with the coin when I purchased it, scans of old auction catalogs and relevant illustrations. In this case the coin is a rarer type so I also have an "OtherExamples" folder that includes images of all examples of the type known to me. More common coins don't get the "OtherExamples" folder generally unless there is a good reason like, for instance, the type is some weird variant and I've found similar variant examples.[/QUOTE]
