[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 636719, member: 13650"]I started keeping track for everything after I got back into it last year. Every coin or sometimes group of coins I purchase gets entered into my customized Excel spreadsheet with general info, sometimes a picture (depending on what it is), date purchased and purchase price for future reference. The columns auto total when I enter prices and quantities in so it's pretty handy. All sheets for silver coins in the program also automatically tally bullion totals as they're entered as well. Just to know for the fun of it, despite numismatic values. For example, I currently have 9.04 troy oz. worth of silver dimes on hand. Found that in less than 10 seconds. Luckily I started this early on so it's pretty easy to update as time goes on. I recommend it. Especially purchase dates and prices. Could be interesting in 20, 50 years and beyond.
