[QUOTE="Beefer518, post: 2883607, member: 87737"]One thing I try and do on all coins, no matter what type of holder, is label it with a code of what I paid for the coin. It's a letter code, and my wife knows the key (it's a 10-letter word with no repeating letters), so she knows what I paid for it, and would then have a base to work from if I get hit by a bus. I also like to photo-inventory each coin. It makes it easier (at times) to re-examine a coin, and it's something I truly enjoy doing. Digital albums are a PITA, unless you're well versed in whatever software you choose to use to create it. I'm so-so in Photoshop, and I'm currently doing a digital album of early silver commems, but in all honesty, I doubt I'll do another one in the future. Other then that, I will occasionally re-arrange all my coins, just as something to do. It's your collection. You can be like Sheldon and start cataloging every nuance of each of your coins, or you can be like LaVere Redfield, and put them in bags and drop them down the coal chute. I'm somewhere in the middle. Just enjoy them however you like.[/QUOTE]
