I agree with all the others, this is a nice check list.

I also use a simple Excel Spreadsheet ... and track via columns titled by Type/Year/Mint/Number/Rank/Grade/Remarks; additionally use a Matrix type chart created in Excel to track how many of each coin by mint mark ... use those when I go to coin shops

This is a very nice checklist. I will download it and make sure I take it with me to my first coin show. Thanks for sharing.

Keep track of their coins ? .. ........OOPS ! ......Was I supposed to be doing that ? ....
See, with "my" way of managing/organizing my collection, I get little "surprises" every time I go through things ! ...
Like......"Oh ! I didn't know I had THAT !"......or "Hmmm....I have three of those !"
Just kiddin' of course......I'm jealous of those that have the perfectly organized collection ! LOL--you're as bad as me--I'm the same way!! |

Whitman Publishing has an entire assortment of such lists but they charge for them. I use a simple Excel Spread sheet.
Why carry a checklist of coins you do not want now or maybe never. Just carry a list of what you need or want.

I would not carry these anywhere, strictly for organizational purposes rather than getting albums out to make a list when online or making a show / shop trip.

Sully,
That's what I've been doing with my "Blue Book" I also made a list of the variety coins and errors on the blank pages at the back of the book. I'll just take that along with me on my coin excursions and it works just fine.
I also made an inventory list to keep track of how many coins I have and from what country since I collect world coins also.

Excel has been very effective for me, esp when used with dropbox. The excel file resides on my computer and a dropbox app allows me to access the file from my phone. Use it at coin shows for my wish list as well as pricing info.

this is mainly to figure out what my collection is worth (for insurance purposes). This is an awesome find.
