Elaine5006 Valued Member United States 62 Posts	Posted 04/01/2015 9:20 pm Hello. My name is Elaine and I am from Washington state. I have been interested in coins for quite a few years and have saved wheat pennies for eons. Recently I purchased my grandmothers coins from my mothers estate. Not sure if it was a good deal or not. Mostly I wanted to have something that had belonged to my grandmother. It was an emotional purchase. I need to organize what I have. Some coins are in books but most are not in anything. I do wonder about when spending money for coins if you keep track of how much is spent on what is purchased. Do I keep that with the coin? Elaine Report this Post to the Staff

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 04/01/2015 9:34 pm Make an inventory book. list type of coin , date & mint, grade and price paid and the date you bought it. do this both for coins in albums as well as holder coins.(2x2 cardboard) give each holder coin an inventory number. and list that too in your inventory book. Happy coin collecting. Report this Post to the Staff

NJ Bob Pillar of the Community United States 655 Posts	Posted 04/02/2015 8:57 pm Welcome Elaine! The first rule of coin collecting is don't clean the coins. The second rule is get a good book. I suggest "A Guide Book of United States coins" or simply the Red Book. (Assuming we're talking about US coins of course.) Report this Post to the Staff
BadToTheBone Pillar of the Community United States 1795 Posts	Posted 04/02/2015 9:17 pm Elaine to CCF. You can do the inventory list if you want but another option is just save the printed receipts that will be sent with the order or a receipt that you print up if ordering (Ebay, etc!). I do the latter and I do that for two reasons if I ever sell and as a guide line for my estate. My main reason for collecting is because I enjoy it and not really in it for the profit.
