<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gronnh20, post: 2583410, member: 73224&quot;]For me finding different storage options was my best option.&nbsp; I tried keeping track of my collection in spreadsheet form and I failed miserably at that venture.&nbsp; So it was easier for me to use different forms of storage to organize my collection.&nbsp; I am probably to the point though that a spreadsheet for my graded coin collection is needed.&nbsp; Doing it that way won&#039;t be such a daunting task for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>The albums and folders I keep are an easier way for me to see what I have or don&#039;t have.&nbsp; I can quickly pick up a folder or album and look for the missing hole.&nbsp; Of course I only use this method with my modern coin collection.&nbsp; Modern coins are cheap enough I can have two coins.&nbsp; The coins in the folders and albums are for the most part not the best coins I have.&nbsp; The best raw coins I again use airtites and to some extent 2x2 cardboard flips.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As far as the boxes of tubes goes, I bought a box for each denomination.&nbsp; The tubes are labeled and color coded.&nbsp; In some cases such as cents and nickels I have two boxes for those denominations.&nbsp; The tubes mostly house circulating coins I keep.&nbsp; I do buy a lot of bagged coins from the mint.&nbsp; These also get housed in tubes if they don&#039;t get put in an envelope to be graded.&nbsp; I find the tubes are the cheapest option for coin hoarding.</p><p><br /></p><p>Storage of coins is a daunting task.&nbsp; It took me a couple years and a couple reorganizations to come up with something that worked for me.&nbsp; Still, it feels unorganized at times.&nbsp; But, I can find any of my coins and I can tell you what I have or don&#039;t have.&nbsp; Like I said the one thing I have failed at is an inventory list.&nbsp; That really should move to the top of my coin to do list.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hopefully, everyone&#039;s suggestions will help you in your collecting endeavor.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
