[QUOTE="Jwt708, post: 2208769, member: 32619"]Hello everyone! I just nerded hard, and I'm so very excited about it I want to share! So I'm still a new ancient collector and I don't know if you've noticed, but ancient collectors keep track of a lot of information about their coins like: ruler, dates they ruled, material the coin was made from, denomination, size, weight, orientation of the designs, mint location, date minted, obverse legend, obverse description, reverse legend, reverse description, numismatic reference...I know I'm probably missing some. Anyway, all these different fields began to overwhelm me. I'm used to military trade tokens. They're organized by country, state (if U.s.), installation, and then denomination (generally). That works for Excel, ancients do not. Anyway, I spent some time and actually learned how to do some stuff with MS Access and it's amazing! I record my coin's info and now can view my coins by ruler, reverse type, size, whatever! Next I'll be working on my military trade tokens (just because) then challenge coins, and MPCs. It was a great learning experience and I think collectors would benefit greatly by learning to use this program. So...maybe a picture?
