Does anyone here use a database or spreadsheet to manage their collections? I am looking for a way to keep track of everything.

Thanks,
Leevee

    I use software called NumisExpert. Depending on how much information you want to store and how you want to access it, a simple spreadsheet could be adequate.

    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 am a buy to keep collector and use my own Excel spreadsheet. It can do anything the commercial software does if you just spend the time to manually update pricing once or twice a year, photograph your coins and include the photos on your spreadsheet. I don't consider it a chore, just part of the enjoyment of owning coins.

    I use Coin Manage by Liberty Street.

    I also use an Excel spreadsheet. It does everything I need it to do. I also have my own website (below), purely for display purposes.

    I use a excel spread sheet. You can do all kinds of sorts, and filters, pretty easy to set up.

    I used to use Coin Elite, but switched to an Excel spreadsheet.

    Thanks for tips. I think I will just create an spreadsheet. It will allow me pretty much all I need to do without any costs.

    Thanks,
