How To Manage The Avalanche?

It may not be for you. You can get several coins that are in the cardboard 2x2's in each file folder and suppose even slabbed coins would work in them. I have some specific labels and some folders and some are very general. Some doubled dies are by decade, if I do not have many for those years, the same for RPM's. I have a folder for laminations, one for Cuds, one for clashes, one for woodies, one for spike heads and so on.... I have one for just coins with FS numbers but you would need a whole filing cabinet just for that. You have to remember that I mostly bank roll hunt and do not run across as many of the more "rare" coins.

If nothing else, the two drawer cabinet may be good for just your ebay selling of coins, being able to have a file for each particular variety, with #1, #2 and so on, on each labeled 2x2 to keep track of them when you sell one.

My system works for me, at least when I use it.... I have much cataloging to do, as I have not for quite some time. When a subject comes up, it gives me quick reference to several coins that meet that particular subject. I have sold several over the years and given many more away, so I do not have the numbers you have acquired in a short period of time (you are very good at what you do and how you go about it), so I don't have as much to deal with.

You have gotten some good advice from many that are much more organized than I and maybe can pick out some different things from different folks to apply. I would suggest you concentrate on doing just that and quit looking for a bit, no matter how much you want to.

Nice!


Sometimes one has to quit one thing for a bit to get another done.


Maybe take a look at doing this. It's where I put above average crh finds I come across. Occasionally go through them and cull what is not as nice as I thought and return them to the wild.

Makecents, for the cent project, I am using those egg cartons to sort the cents. Not quite as nice as your tubes, but it works okay until I put them into year/mm rolls.

Looking good!

Nice progress so far Brand.

Also liquidated five slabbed coins, which is starting to free up space in the slab storage box. Still a trio of 2x2 long boxes to chew through, but now I have triage space.

Thanks, makecents. I inherited that table from my grandfather. We've always called it the oak table. I believe you are correct that it is quarter sawn, although the edge is a veneer to cover the grain. It had a leaf at one point, but that was apparently given to a woodworker in the family because it was never used.

Oh my...me too!
I thought I was the only one.
I thought a bigger desk would be better...it just makes a bigger mess...still love the space!
I'll post my goals shortly...just have to figure them out first.
