<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3494908, member: 19463"]I like your number sectioning concept. It is much like what I use except I have lettered sections set up to sort the way I want. For example, R0 through RZ are my Romans with R + a number being groups of Republicans and R+ a letter being Imperials. Mine is customized for my collection so something I collect less intensively gets lumped together (RC=Nerva-Commodus) while specialties are broken down more (RE through RJ are subgroups of Septimius Severus by mint and period). Provincials are broken similarly but start with P instead of R. Greek coins start with G. At present my Greeks only use G0 through G9 but I can see a future expansion to use at least some letters that might make it easier to find things. I follow each two letter code by a four digit number so I will be in trouble if I get my 10000th coin in any section. I'm not worried. If you set up a system when you have 100 coins, it is easier to plan on that number growing than to have to start over when you get too many coins. I suppose someone could devise a general code system that more people could use (It would have fewer Septimius options). We each can do what works for us.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
