I use MS Excel on a PC but if you want something for your phone, Google Sheets would also work if you want to go the spreadsheet route.

I have blog with a separate post for each coin. It is akin to having a website with a separate page for each coin. My concept is akin to the top 20 approach. If a coin isn't worth the time to picture and document, then it isn't worth owning and goes in the trade/sell bin. I try not to accumulate things I do not want or need. I like this approach, though I don't have the patience to photograph all of my coins. |

Further to what @twslisa said on the tax implications, Canadians need to know that the rules here are quite different. Essentially, if you are not carrying on a business and just doing a bit of casual buying and selling, if the buy and sell prices are both under $1000, you do not need to keep track as there are no tax implications. Much simpler for the average collector.

For gold coins, I have a spreadsheet. I can tell at a glance the nominal total number of ounces to the nearest 0.0001 ozt.
For all coins worthy of imaging (this includes all gold coins plus others), I have images with sortable/searchable names like "2016_US_50cents_1`2ozAu_mmW_1o_DPP_2016_12_14__0004.TIF" spread across many folders. There is also an "index" to all these images in another single folder consisting of symbolic links to the images. I can search or sort the folder with the symbolic links using Windows File Explorer (or whatever it's called these days). If I want to see a list of US quarters, I'd search for "_US_25cents_", for example.

I hardly have anything in my collection right now, so no problem.

I tried numista.com and I really like the way it is organized, especially the map feature.

Use caution when using an online catalog since you never know when they might discontinue features or the site could disappear entirely.
Personally I have an excel spreadsheet linked to folders that hold my coin photos. I should probably be scanning my receipts in case the originals deteriorate over time.

I use similar to Jbuck. I use a google docs spreadsheet, but I only use this for my certified coins. All my raw coins I keep in folders.

Quote: I have been using CoinManage from Liberty Street http://www.libertystreet.com/Coin-C...oftware.htm) for several years and have been satisfied. It's not expensive, easy to use and lets me include all the info on each coin that I need. I tried this and I think it is amazing. I am migrating my entire collection form Excel to this program. The ease of adding coins, the image attachments, the sorting and reporting, everything is just intuitive and so much better than Excel. Edited by Andrew99

My old school system is a catalogued series of albums & cigar boxes that puts the coins in an order based on the alphabetic letter assigned to the box or album & the numeric order they are in. When a coin sells, it takes only a few seconds to locate it.

The only cataloging of my coins I do is on Numista.
