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.

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 don't actually know where many of the coins I have are, though, other than "at home" (which is a real problem if I want to find a particular one for some reason).

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.
