<p>[QUOTE=&quot;geekpryde, post: 26007276, member: 36248&quot;]I use Excel and update the spreadsheet after every purchase or sale.&nbsp; Much easier to do at one coin at a time.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I can&#039;t even imagine having a large collection without having an inventory system. </p><p><br /></p><p>Knowing exactly what you have and being able to look up information and cross reference is vital do the way that I enjoy the hobby.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; And having this inventory systems makes posting about your coins or sharing photos so much easier.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; If I want to know every half dollar I&#039;ve owned and the years they were purchased and their average value, it&#039;s just a few clicks for me.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; If I want to rename a bunch of photos, there&#039;s no hand typing involved. I just form a new string as a column on the inventory system based on existing data fields and all the new file names populate for every coin.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; These are just two simple examples but you get the idea.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Even if you didn&#039;t care about all that, it&#039;d be nice for insurance purposes to have an actual list of what you own.&nbsp;&nbsp; I doubt many people could from memory create an inventory of all their coins that were lost in a fire for instance, or that were stolen in a robbery.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m far too neurotic to not document every purchase in minute detail.&nbsp;&nbsp; To each their own.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
