Message:: [QUOTE="dave_in_delaware, post: 2544720, member: 82414"]Wow. Thank you everyone for your insight, encouragement, and suggestions! I appreciate that very much. I looked into some of the software links and I may one day "upgrade" to a program that organizes things in a better, more professional way. But for now, I'll finish cataloging my coins in Excel (since I'm about 2/3 of the way into now anyway). As for photographing the individual coins, I'll stick with only doing the older or more interesting ones, or ones that have a special error, etc. That way it doesn't feel like such an overwhelming task at first. BUT, I thought that maybe once I finish cataloging the coins in Excel, I would take a "group photo" by country in order to get an overall "feel" of the country's collection. Granted, some may only be 2 coins, but the largest may be over 100. As for photography equipment, I have a digital camera and a tripod, and I do have some experience with photographing objects on a table. So I may stick with that for the "group photos." I do like that eFlex microscope idea though. I may invest in one of those in the near future since it's available locally to me for a little under $40. Thanks again for everyone's input. This isn't feeling like such a huge task to me anymore.[/QUOTE]
