Anybody have a good "system" for cataloging their coins?

Hi, I was wondering how other collectors are cataloging their coins. I have a spreadsheet with the usual stuff: purchase price, date, grade, cert #, etc. but specifically I wanted to know if someone has a systematic approach to description. This would be for personal use ("upgrading" at a show but not wanting to make the mistake of overlooking an interesting attribute of my coin, if I decide to sell then I don't have to reinvent the wheel writing a description), but I could see it being useful to my heirs down the road also.

Just wondering if anybody has a particularly good method for capturing the attributes of a coin, whether it's a numeric system or simply Obv: ____ / Rev: ____.

Thanks for the help!
