<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Phil Ham, post: 967147, member: 5787&quot;]I use Excel to inventory my coins.&nbsp; I typically have the dataset sorted by country and denomination.&nbsp; I include lots of stuff on every coin such as year, mintage, mint mark, variety, coinage metal, grade, quantity, purchase price, market price, lot value, bought from, purchased date, and other comments.&nbsp; The great thing about Excel is that you can create your own format, it&#039;s easy for most to use, and you can sort and query in seconds.&nbsp; In the same spreadsheet, I have tabs on American coins such as cents, nickels, dimes, quarters, proof sets, etc. so that I know which coins that I&#039;m missing.&nbsp; I will list the year in the first column and have columns such as book 1, book2, ... and loose coins with a total on the far right.&nbsp; I will darken fields that aren&#039;t applicable to the years in the book.&nbsp; I also have a coin collector&#039;s program called Coin Assistant that I got as a gift.&nbsp; It is nice in that you can pick the coin out of a drop down menu and it fills in a lot of information such as mintage, coin metal, designer, etc.&nbsp; I also provides a coin value that seems to be way over valued.&nbsp; Thus, I use my Excel spreadsheet to quickly determine the value of my collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
