<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheMont, post: 2536353, member: 80121&quot;]I recently helped sell a coin collection for a family , because the coin &quot;accumulator&quot; passed away. He had put quite a few coins into 2x2s, but did not label them. It would have been a huge help if he had put, at the very least, the date and mint mark of the coin. I could tell what the coin was just by looking, but that&#039;s really all you can get from an unmarked 2x2. I also had to check for varieties, there were a few, so what could have been an easy job became much harder.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let that be a lesson for those collectors who also leave their coins, whether in 2x2s, flips, etc., unmarked. Someone may have to organize their collection for them and while they may know what&#039;s in the holders another person would not.</p><p><br /></p><p>I go a step further and use the cardboard boxes that hold slabs and put ASEs and any other coin types into boxes and label the box. For 2x2s, I put then in the smaller cardboard boxes and also label them. Makes it easier for me to find a coin much faster and will make it easier if someone else needs to handle my collection. I also have every coin and set listed on an Excel spreadsheet so I know what I have and unless upgrading, don&#039;t buy duplicate coins (I&#039;m getting older and the memory isn&#039;t what it used to be).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
