Coin Collecting Software

JoeTheCoinMan

I am interested in programming a coin collecting software of some sort. Does anyone have a great software idea that I could implement?

Thanks,
Joseph

I have several we can discuss them as soon as you sign an NDA.

I think I will make a coin collecting software that organizes your coin collection and prices your coins. I will create it not just for Windows users, but for Mac and Linux too. The software will be free of charge. If anyone likes this idea let me know.

Thanks,
Joseph

I still don't know of anything that can beat Heritage's "My Collection". It's free, and superb for maintaining an off-site record of your collection. Customizable, printable, etc.

Good stuff . . .

Excel spread sheet. I like to keep things simple.
Or I should say, I would like to keep it simple

I use Coin Manage from Liberty Street, I love it, cannot say enought good things about it. It is the only software I have used, so nothing to judge it by, but It plugged right in and did what it sys it soes. The support was also excellent thru email.

I was able to pick up Coin Manage. It works well. You can look at it if you want to get some ideas for your program if you want.

I have a new Mac, and an old Filemaker Pro. I don't know if the old software will work on my new machine with Leopard. I don't need anything fancy, but I do want the table format.

I use Coin Elite... as do many others.... it seems quite complete... I would suggest reviewing that package for some ideas... Cheers, RickO

I would suggest something that works on a Blackberry, so I can take it to shows and have a full reference right there with me.

I need access to what I have in my collection, what I have on my buy list, which includes a "goal grade" to buy and what prices I'm willing to pay vs. guide prices.

I just use Excel spreadsheet and find it quite usable.

For those who use coin s/w - what do you feel are the advatages? Are any trends automatically updated?
