Do you use any particular coin software to track and update your collection?

There is a useful thread on the "Dark Side" where a member asks how collectors/dealers keep track of their collections.

I looked at the software, Exact Change, and what PCGS offers. It does appear though that the coin software use is more U.S. focused.

I collect mostly Canadian, Newfie, Irish and Japanese coins. PCGS or the other TPGs do not publish updated prices. The Krause World Coin books are not precise. I have used recent auctions (Moore, Canadian Numismatics, Stack's, E-Bay completed sales, etc.) to update prices.

Does anyone have any suggestions other than my rudimentary effort using EXCEL?

Many thanks, John

    Excel is what I use. Have not found an easy to use software program

    This subject was just discussed 1 week ago in the thread
    Coin Database Inventory Software?
    and I explained why I use Excel, too. (For a collection I am inventorying; for my own inactive collection I have a few sparse written records)

    Thanks for the heads up. I missed the thread completely. There is a similar on on the domestic side but I haven't found anything yet for world coins.

    I have vacation in another week. My fiancé is more computer savvy than I am and I was going to have her rough out a draft with me (i.e., she will do it, and I will give instructions like, "faster!"). If anyone would like to help sketch out some ideas, let's start hashing them out now. Maybe we can come up with something useful and not terribly world-coin-collector unfriendly like most things I have come across.
