<p>[QUOTE="LukeGob, post: 23765807, member: 73885"]What an amazing (wife) piece of craftsmanship! Hats-off to you, sir. As for the idea of a catalogue, fair warning; I do something like what I think you're describing & it is a seriously limiting factor on getting new coins put away. I do an alphanumeric code (diffetent rulers or eras or blah blah) with straight numbering system for each coin, that goes on the flip w/basic info. Use that to referance a catalogue list of all the coins I have, then a Liber/folio call-out to find a particular coin in a seperate (random order entry) catalogue with a full description of the coin, reference info, where I got it, my thoughts, etc. & a reference to a find any receipts or tickets or whatever from the purchase in another spot. It is excessive, but I can't make myself stop now that that's been the system. If I could do it all over, I would SERIOUSLY streamline the whole thing. Or even do it electronically. Everything is nice & organized & accessible & all, but it takes a long time to get new coins catalogued & put away. The idea was to make it easier on my kids to eventually sell the collection (I can even leave notes to them in the catalogue to make sure they know the valuable coins), but I probably just made a mess that no one (including me?) will ever use. Food for thought[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
