I'm considering a purchase of computer software to help me maintain an inventory and value of my coin collection. There are several products to choose from. Do you have a recommendation as to which one I should select?

If you don't want to spend any money, the Heritage site has My Collections that does a great deal for you free of charge. It moves a bit slow at times, but has nice features. I recommend you check that out.
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
I wrote my own in order to automate everything I do. It tracks my collection, albums, certified coins and my "inventory", plus tracks coins I submit for slabbing.
When I go list an auction it generates the HTML for the ad, tracks the receivables, items that need to be shipped, and items sold.
I used to use Excel spreadsheets, but automation has saved me a lot of time and hassels.
And now I know exactly how much money I lose selling coins right down to the penny.

If you are any good at programming, you could figure out to remove that feature from your software.
