<p>[QUOTE="Gavin Richardson, post: 8357147, member: 83956"]That binder system seems to be a bit unwieldy to me, but if it works for you, great. I understand the impulse behind the system. We want to display the coin, but it would also be nice to tell the story behind the coin as well, and display space usually doesn’t allow for that opportunity. I have a little over 200 coins. I keep mine in lighthouse trays. I assign each coin a unique catalog number, which is included on the short description that accompanies the coin in the tray insert. I also keep written catalogs in Microsoft Word form. I guess it’s my equivalent to your QR code approach. The unique catalog number allows for cross-referencing the coin in the tray with the more generous discussion in the file. The downside is that I don’t display the written catalog along with the coins themselves, but that could be easily remedied if I wanted to print it out periodically and keep it with the coins. Also, should I get hit by a bus this afternoon, I’m not sure if anybody but me understands my catalog system. Perhaps I should have a brief discussion with my wife sometime.</p><p><br /></p><p>The photos, by the way, aren’t for the same coin obviously.
