Gold And Silver Moving Up Tonight

Angel... I keep a simple spreadsheet document that lists every coin, round, and bar I buy. This includes the weight, metal, fineness, number of items, purchase date, silver weight, and amount paid. Like you, I have not sold any either but when I do, I will put the sales into this spreadsheet in the same way. This will be my buying and selling record. I also scan the receipts I get with any of the larger purchases I make and save them. This info is also backed up onto a separate hard drive and also on a 4 GB USB memory stick. I also make a backup of my personal files onto a DVD that I save in my son's safe at a different location. This may seem a little paranoid to some but there are files that most people have that they simply cannot afford to lose. If so, then some extra action is necessary to protect that information.

Thanks to both of you. Wonder how all the coins I have from the 1960s really are recorded for date of acquisition since basically for years they were gathered as obtained and no clue for the date of each individual coin. I know basically 6ace value is the cost but how to record that was why the question. Not that it is that much $ just wondering

That is a little trickier, especially if some of them were acquired at face value. As to date, I would simply pick a date, such as 1970 or 1980 and say "acquired before 19xx" and fill in the "xx" with whichever date you choose.



Not if we keep the file up to date... takes me 4-5 minutes for each buy I make.

I let my accountant figure everything out just keep your records. The numbers are too big for me to start to figure out anyways.

@mkfarm, Hope it was not me!

I don't believe I predicted $24. Instead I only mentioned wanting to buy at that level this month. :)

At these 32+ levels, silver is just a hobby for me.

Watching those Canadian coins closely!
