<p>[QUOTE="Ken Dorney, post: 2661866, member: 76086"]I've enjoyed the thread. When I started it I knew what I ultimately wanted to do but wanted to see what others are doing (or not doing as it turns out). Bing pointed out that my format wont work for a lot of people. Very true, my collection is small and I intend to keep it that way. I have no need or interest to amass many thousands of coins. I figure I will end up with a few hundred coins at the end, tops. I prefer to spend more on single nicer quality coins (not to assume I dont have low dollar stuff, as I certainly do). My word document idea is fine for me. I can add as I need, clean up the document as needed. I chose the Word format as I am more visually oriented. It looks nice and with four coins per page the images are nice and large enough I can see them well when my eyes get worse. Since my kids are not interested in coins I intend to ultimately sell them off at some point. And if they are nice to me maybe I'll take them on a nice vacation! Also, I wanted to have a record of the relative values of the collection in the case I die before I can sell them. This way hopefully they wont be taken down to a local pawn shop and sold for 1/10th of a penny on the dollar! But, the vanity in me wishes to keep a record. Before I sell them off I will print the document and have it hard bound into a book, purely for selfish reasons. Here is an image similar to the one already posted, with errors and clean-up still necessary:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]590681[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
