That would be awesome I would love to check it out, but the system will not allow me to msg you since I do not have enough posts. BTW I noticed where you live and I live down the road in keller and was wondering if you know of any LCS around besides CR G Currently working on Lincoln Cents, Barber halves, FEC, Buffalo nickelsFinished Jefferson, Roosevelt, Washington, Morgan, Kennedy, Franklin, Peace, IKE |

I agree with the above, an Excel spreadsheet works the best for me, and if you have an iphone, just email yourself a copy of it each time you're done so you can just open it up and check it out whenever you need to

for me I take my smartphone and go to my website. I have every coin I own on my website so I always know what I have and what I need. It's probably overkill for most but it's what works best for me.

I mean, I know of a few people who deal in coins, but none of them have a store, so it would be like just knowing some guy who buys and sells coins in a house or something. I try to go to the Grapevine coin shows when I can, but I like CR so it's not a huge deal for me to go looking elsewhere. |

I use excel spreadsheets and numista to keep track of my collection

Another vote for spreadsheet. They are easy to make and just as easy to modify down the road when you decide you want to add or remove different types of information.

Yet another vote for Excel. It may not have pretty graphics, but once you learn how to use it it can be extremely powerful and well organized.

Since I'm usually in the hunt for coins, but not always buying right away I carry around a small flip cover note book. In that book, I keep all my "wants" by coin (e.g., Mercury dimes) on a page with any notes to remind me (e.g., 1934-S; want to upgrade from G4). I write in pencil, so I can erase stuff that I get. The spreadsheet is a good way to track your overall collection, but I've found it difficult to access it quickly when I'm in the buying mood... |

I do it simple since I have several collections I carry my Red Book with me and it has every coin I have and the the grade I have it in highlited. With that I know exactly what I have and dont, also lets me know if there is more then 1 type of a particular coin in a series |

Another easy way of keeping track of coins you want is by signing up to Numista and then looking up the coins and adding them to your want list & you will have a nice nice list with pics as well ....you can do the same with coins you have too  Edited by DaytR

I keep a book and note what I have and what the grade is or could be plus I write down all cert numbers for certi coins this has a double use keeps track of what I have and it keeps a record of them so in the event my house was broken into it works for insurance I back it further with pictures stored in the cloud or email them and keep it that way great record keeping is a must especially in the hobby

MS Access database stored in the cloud. I can access it from work, home etc. I bit more complicated than spreadsheet, but works very well for me.

Yep, spreadsheet. Though not my entire collection.

I have a spreadsheet for now, but it's growing in complexity. I am working part time on a database - mostly because it's who I am, an IT guy - but it's not been happening fast (I have been wrestling with a data structure problem, the subvariety, but I think I have a path forward).
