[QUOTE="TRT2, post: 354540, member: 12647"]I recently began to catalog my collection and the overall majority of folks indicated they used Excel. So I looked at a few versions folks has sent to me, which varied greatly, and chose a layout I liked (pretty much tabular with grade, count and value info. I also viewed the templates on the internet which most folks seemed to dislike... the templates did contain a very valuable piece of information... the year/mm already typed... a simply copy/paste then updated my generic format for each coin, along with mintage. So armed with a spreadsheet containing year/mm, I was then able to pretty quickly inventory my collection. I do a series a week, spending time learning about the specific coin, the fine points and details about grading said series, and the values. So far this is working out very well. I've also procured an off-the-shelf program to try but have to admit, the excel spreadsheet feels very familiar as I use excel routinely in my day job. If you want a copy, drop me a PM with your email and I'll send it along. good luck![/QUOTE]
