Does your inventory consist of more data than a count of each coin type?

That is a lot, and I mean lot, of coins to have just sitting around. Have you decided what to do with those. So many could be put into Albums and so many just to a bank. Might consider giving to kids on Halloween.

I agree that is a lot of coins and you still have a lot of sorting to do in each category, congrats and have fun.

Finally, after 15 months of off and on sorting, I am done with my coin inventory. Excellent!  |

I've more or less been on the same rampage...been giving away some, selling some at shows and club meetings...something of an inventory reduction since retirement!

I agree that is a lot of coins and you still have a lot of sorting to do in each category, congrats and have fun I started off by sorting my coins in my coin sorting/counting machine, (I have the Cassida C200) That sorted the coins by denomination, then hand sorted all coins by decade, then by year, and finally by mint mark. For example on my wheat cents; 1924 38 1924 D 0 1924 S 7 1909 12 1909 VDB 10 1909 S 2 1909 S VDB 0 Wartime Silver Jefferson; 1943 P 41 1943 D 2 1943 S 11 And so on. As I look at my coins for placement in the albums, I will be looking under the microscope for error coins. I started out in the beginning doing this, but decided to wait until the inventory was done. Also while sorting all these coins, I pulled out all the cull coins and put them all into a separate bag, so I don't have to deal with them later. These cull coins are not included in my inventory.

I use a great free program called Libre office to keep track of all of mine in a spreadsheet. I have to because I coin roll hunt to make sets for 6 people (4 of them grandkids). Anyway that is a chunk of coins to go through all at one time. Congrats!

Someday I might transfer to a spreadsheet, or maybe some type of coin inventory software. But for now, the Red Book and my notebooks work just fine. |

I must be a glutton for punishment, I had to stop at the bank today and before you knew it, I was buying rolls of coins.  But on the bright side so far, I did find some mint marks I needed.  |

I started the next process of my quest, I started filling albums back in March, I have finished 3 ea. of the 1938 to 2005 Jefferson nickel, and 3 ea. 2006 to Date Jefferson nickel. This seems like I am going to need more patience with, going through all those coins and picking out the best of the best seem to be more time consuming than the whole sorting and inventory process was. There is a change in my plans, I was originally going to start some starter sets for nephews that were going to go into boy scouts, I learned last week that they weren't going to join scouts because it would get in the way of their summer hockey camps. So what I am going to do is go ahead and fill 3 albums of each denomination for myself, I will keep all my Wheaties, and some of the LMC's through 1982. I will keep all my silver, I will keep the balance of the coins through 1979 (for now) and the rest of the coins from 1980 to date will be dumped... All my extra folders, extra albums, and leftover supplies, will be donated to a local boy scout troop. |
