Most of my collection is in 2x2's, so I just write directly on them. My handwriting is pretty much hieroglyphs, so I have to make an effort to make them legible. All I usually put is date, mintmark, and country of origin if not US. If there's a story behind the coin, I'll make a note of it on the 2x2- like "Found in circulation" for some proof coins I found at work. I also put "clip planchet" or "filled die" or something like that on them if it applies.

My coins right now anyways are in 2X2's stored in the red boxes,, I make a list on my word processor and size it to fit the inside of the box lid,,I number the 2X2's and the corresponding number on the list I arrange by date and mint mark always philly first denver second and where applicable San francisco last for the mint state coins, for the proofs they have their own box with the same list and number system My whole collection is done this way,, I keep a note book for any spacifics on any coin by number for my assigned grade, amount I paid, and any anomolies that the coin may have.
Im an empty nester so my time is my own all the time ,except for the 50 hrs a week that sell to my employer for below market value!!!
