I use the same!
When I bought it last year I thought it would last me a decade but it's already almost half full!

Mine was only needed to hold the PCGS Eisenhower dollar set, including the extras.

If I ever do an NGC set, there will be a second one purchased.

Can you direct me there? Can't seem to find the link in your signature.
Could be the Florida hot sun here frying my brain, sorry!

Am I missing something?
I have a feeling it's something I'm overlooking....

I believe you have to enable being able to view signature links. I don't think its a thing by default.

It is if you singed up after 8/7/2023 when Bobby fixed it. CoinForMe has been here almost ten years.

In my case, I collect graded coins. It's less of a headache and reduces stress that way. At the moment, I only collect PCGS and NGC, so, I have the company Coin slab boxes, two NGC and one PCGS (I should probably pick up a second PCGS box at some point.). Anywho, one NGC box is for US coins while the other is for foreign. Then, I have the coins arranged by date in their respective box.

I created an inventory program that allows me to organize by individual category as well as the entire portfolio.

The benefit of creating your own system is that it allows you to figure out the best way to catalog, inventory, and track things according to what's important to you. It also allows customization by category: how I organize ancients is very different from how I organize large cents.

For physical organization, it depends on the coin.

Regular or common coins go into standard 2x2 cardboard flips.

EAC go into 2" cotton liners, then into a 2" envelope.

Medievals & ancients go into a 2" cotton liner, which goes into a 2" envelope, which goes into a 2.5" poly flip. I print out general documentation in a standardized format on a 2.5" insert, and label the envelope with coin-specific info, pedigree, legends, &c. The 2.5" poly flip allows me to store previous collectors' inserts and auction tickets with the coin.

For an inventory code, I still follow the Dan Holmes method
