Message:: [QUOTE="Limes, post: 4263729, member: 101013"]Enjoy the sorting. Must be fun going through your collection! A time a go I made a decision, to keep my collection small and to use a display so I can see my coins every time. If I keep using this system I will never have more than 119 and something coins in total. This is why I keep improving my collection; saying goodbye to old coins and getting better new ones. Some do not like this system and way of collecting perhaps, but I like it very much. Maybe some day in the future I will change it, but definately not now. I don't use cards as you see. With this small amount of coins its not necessary. I use excel to register my coins and necessary info. My system is useful for a small collection. I basically gave every emperor a number (augustus being #1). My first coin of Augustus is 1.1. My second 1.2 etc. The most coins I have of one emperor are of Hadrian; denarii of his travel series. I register those by adding TS. So, it's 25.TS.1 etc. Some caesars of family members don't have their own number. Brittanicus is part of Claudius. Both have #7. Again, this only works with small numbers of coins. [ATTACH=full]1086264[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
