Anyone arrange their collection by grade rather than by date/denomination?

The date/denomination would, of course be within the GRADE sorting.

Just curious. Might be kinda interesting.

    Interesting thought. I use the put it in the next open slot of the box method. Kind of bad and unorganized but it gets me looking at a lot of my other coins while searching for the one I wanted.

    Best place to buy !

    it makes sense as an order. how about by mint mark?

    Danger is that you could start looking and then throw away the next section. :D

    No, grades are only of interest to me with respect to estimating the market value of the piece. The date and the history are a bigger issue from me.

    If you arrange by grade you will have to change it every year or so as the "grading" companies inflate.
    If you arrange by date/mint you will not have to change it.

    No....it would make it all but impossible to find a coin.

    I have a two cent set I arrange by grade. Still need one more. I also have a similar set in ATS plastic.

    Denom/Hub Type/Date/Mint Mark/Die Marriage/Die State/BusinessStrike-Proof/Red-RB-Brown-DCam-Cam-NonCam/Grade
    (Sometimes Hub Type is handled within Die Marriage)
    The above 2c/LM/1864/plain is also organized this way, except probably the Die Marriage/Die State.

    You guys 'organize' your collection??? :D:D If it were not for the few albums I have, there would be no organization at all to my collection. Well, except for storage areas... certain coins in the safe, some in the coin cabinets, others in cardboard boxes (i.e. the mint sets). So, there is 'some' organization to my collection. ;) Cheers, RickO

    I organize them by "da kine" and the year; not by grade...It would be so "un-organized" otherwise IMO
