Message:: [QUOTE="coinhead63, post: 1348719, member: 28001"]I am using the microsoft spreadsheet as a base to catalog my coin collection. It looks like this: LIBERTY HEAD OR MORGAN DOLLAR                                  1878-1921                       p. 37DATE  MINT  CONDITION  05 BL BK  2012 BLBK  05 RD BK  2012 RDBK  10/11  CV     NOTES1878    P       VF-20         $7.00      $22.00     $21.00      $30.00        $44.00     7TFR79(T3)1878   CC       F-12         $18.00     $39.00      $70.00     $100.00      $125.00 1878    S       EF-40         $8.00      $22.00      $25.00      $35.00        $45.00 Where BL BK =  Blue Book (Shows approximate wholesale value)  and RD BK =  Red Book (Approximate retail value) and CV = Coin Values (More current realistic retail value(published by Coin World Magazine)).  I keep 2005 values as a base point because it seems to have been the start of the bull market in coin values.  You could use the Coin Dealer News "Grey Sheet" if you subscribe to it or if you get friendly with a local dealer who subscribes he might give you an old issue of the Grey Sheet.  It is a much better (more current and accurate) indicator of coin prices than anything else.[/QUOTE]
