Hi,
Apologies if this is in the wrong place but I've not found any open topics that apply.
I want to catalogue two moderate collections of predominantly UK coins. I downloaded a trial copy of CoinManage UK 2015 to see if that was a solution. Although I can list the coins, I can only assign values in $US and the ebay links are all to US sites/auctions. Is this my operator incompetence or is that a limitation of software. It states in publicity that s/w will provide UK values and ebay valuations. I emailed CoinManage/Liberty House a week ago, but no response.
If this is a restriction does anybody have suggestions for a UK focussed s/w product.
Thanks for any and all the help.

I have no experience with this software but to be honest I think an excel spreadsheet does everything needed for such a task.

You can load photo's into it, you can have as many columns of information as required in any format required. Call me old fashioned but it is like an improved method of doing it the old fashioned way in a book, because you can make it what you want it to be. Looking up the coins on google, or with a copy of Spinks I have my coins listed with a number for their location (page number, row number, column number) A description of the coin, a catalogue number of its type, size and weight, mintage number, cost acquired and source acquired from and I am free to have a column for valuation and photo's.

Doing it this technique might be slower than with specialist software but in a way it's good. It lets you take each coin one at a time, study it, look it up and enter the information and through this process some of the information sticks... you get to know the collection intimately.

Rest in Peace

Very much agree with David above. The only two things I would add is that you should give each coin a unique inventory code and your photos can match that inventory giving each picture an A, B, C, etc., for as many pictures as you have taken.

If you do it that way you have a great way to search for dates, mints, values, or any other independent variable.

Thanks for the replies - Excel is definitely an option - and I'm reasonably familiar with it.
The attraction of CoinManage was that it has an immediate valuation from their database and link to eg ebay auctions for recent sales. However, although that seems to work in a US context it doesn't seem to work on my ?UK demo software.

As a British coin collector and software developer, I would think that you would be very hard-pressed to satisfy your desire for easy online valuations - the scope is just too broad.
I've seen a couple for collectors of US coins, but with these you'd be up for annual fees to get updated valuations.

[My own product wouldn't suit you either as it only helps with keeping an inventory (though not limited to coins) - valuations are left to your own grading and choice of catalogue.]

I find EzCoins to be an excellent software program. Yearly updates and decent valuations.
I swear by this program have used it for years.

He is working on a UK set...

Ping him and he will answer your question.
I did try liberty software some time ago and look each year at their programs however tier tech support is very sub par (from my own and others experience)
