Message:: [QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 8437055, member: 100459"]I keep a record of all of my coins on an EXCEL spreadsheet.  I store it on a thumb drive.  My father left me his coin collection (of which my brother got half).  My father's collection is in 3 boxes.  I have a separate spreadsheet for those.  I didn't start collecting coins until I got those my father left me in 2007.  I started collecting my coins and storing them in a box by year.  I looked at my purchases and I didn't make many purchases at first.  However, in 2008 through 2010, I only purchased 1 from the Mint, however, about 2016, I started purchasing like "gang-busters", mainly because it was like a kid in a candy store.. Everything looked good and even this past year I made about 20 purchases from the Mint.  I usually buy a 1/10th ounce gold coin each year, but I have augmented it when there were some commemorative coins or sets.  2019 really hit me hard due to Apollo 11.  Everything looked good, and I did buy just about everything with reference to Apollo 11.  I even got a Canadian Apollo 11 coin.  In 2016, I bought the gold dime, Standing Liberty, and Walking Liberty.  The gold dime was pot luck.  Some poor guy must have had their purchase cancelled.  My latest gold purchase is the Bucking Horse Liberty Gold Coin.  There's supposed to be a silver version this year.  I hope I can get that one.[/QUOTE]
