[QUOTE="skippy, post: 1196832, member: 5296"]I just purchased Pro-Coin 2011 and it's a good program, but you have to go read the help document carefully when you need to do some customizing. Such as adding random oddball custom coins to the database so you can add them to your collection(s). The only thing I would suggest is that you don't pay attention to the mintage figures built in. At times they are WAY off. I ended up customizing a text field in the Custom Details section/tab naming it "Mintages", and have been putting in mintages manually in this field, using mintage figures from my Redbook. You can then add these custom fields shown with the regular data in the summary section that is in the top-left block in McBlzr's image above. The built-in updated coin values are current as of March of this year, but they are not avaliable for every coin. I use completed auction values to fill in missing ones or override the built in values when needed. I also like the fact that you can put in the actual bullion amount a coin has in it's composition (such as 0.36169 oz of silver for franklin halves) and it will continue to add that total to your "bullion Value" total for a collection. I know not all coins are worth just bullion value but it's neat to see the total collection value verses the bullion value.[/QUOTE]
