I would hide the purchase price to keep the wife from finding out how much I paid.  As to the OP's question I've been using Excel but I started with bullion strictly to track price per oz and total ounces. I think I'll be adding a worksheet to it in order to track numismatic purchases. |

I have approx. 500 numismatic items in my collection, excel still works fine for me.

I have a kindle app called 'coin collection' I believe. Lists date and mm and some types (1917 slq type 1 and 2 for example.) Also lets you put grades and notes for each, along with a counter for multiples. It doesn't go past Classics and its only US but I really like it. Handy for digging through the LCS junk bin for date/mm's I don't have.

I use the same app as SpaceMaNy0. It is very convenient for US coin series. It is somewhat customizable. Still use excel for type sets though.

I use my website to manage my collection. Complete with photos and have and need lists it's the perfect companion when at shows or my LCS. I can just check the need list to see if I need an item or if I already have it. Also, for insurance reasons, I have pictures of all coins that I can show them.

I also have a handwritten list of everything I consider worth noting value, mostly bullion but some older coins as well. My app doesn't list Seated dimes, and I have a couple of those, so its all at least written somewhere. |

I use Excel. Additionally, I use Capture My Assets software to tie pics to data. Simple pgm that gens simple reports. Vendor says a major upgrade is coming this year. Hope so. Current pgm limits pic size to 640x480.

How do you keep up with your collection? I don't. I have absolutely NO idea of the number of coins I have or what I paid for them or where I got them and that's the way I like it  The beauty of this is that when am looking through my albums, buckets, draws and boxes I tend to "Re discover" coins that I have forgotten about. I know roughly where a particular coin is at any given time and finding it again is almost as much fun as finding it in the first place  |

I started out with a list on a sheet of notebook paper, then moved to excel so I could track my progress on circulation finds.
Now I rely mostly on my memory and organizational skills; it saves a whole bunch of time, and I can usually tell whether I already have a coin or not.

I have had good luck with numista.com. I add the price I paid and when I bought the coin in the comments.

I run a list of what I still need to get for the sets that I'm working on at the moment on the notes app and on this forum. I don't keep record of how much I purchased a given coin though.

I only keep track of what I need. I have it hand written in an old day timer and carry it with me when I am shopping. I do not keep track of where, when, how much, or condition number on a holder. That is not what is important.

Spreadsheet. It has certainly evolved (and been imported into different software), but has served me for well over twenty-five years now.  |

I have a decent amount of coins in my collection but not enough that I feel the need to catalogue all of them. If I do ever feel the need to, I'll probably just use excel.
