庫存您的收藏

當我寫這篇文章時，我們正處於當地的冬季風暴之中，院子裡覆蓋著雪，街道冰冷。如果您住在該國北部

As I write this, we’re in the midst of a local winter storm, the yard covered with snow and the streets icy. If you live in the northern part of the country, you may be thinking that what I’m experiencing is nothing new. But if you live in Mississippi, it is something new.

當我寫這篇文章時，我們正處於當地的冬季風暴之中，院子裡覆蓋著雪，街道冰冷。如果您居住在該國北部，您可能會認為我的經歷並不是什麼新鮮事物。但是，如果您住在密西西比州，那是新事物。

I found a lengthy thread on CoinTalk (CT) titled “Starting Some Serious Inventory” that addresses what one collector is doing with his winter downtime. He wrote, “I decided to start some inventory today. Too cold to play golf or fix fences.”

我在Cointalk（CT）上發現了一個冗長的線程，標題為“開始一些認真的庫存”，該線程涉及一個收藏家在冬季停機時間所做的事情。他寫道：“我決定今天開始一些庫存。太冷了，無法打高爾夫球或固定籬笆。”

In response to the original poster (OP), another collector wrote, “Forget the inventory; I just need to downsize some of my collection.”

為了回應原始海報（OP），另一位收藏家寫道：“忘記庫存；我只需要縮小一些收藏的尺寸即可。”

OP wrote, “Me too, and this is a start. I am giving my stuff to my kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids as birthday and Christmas gifts.”

OP寫道：“我也是，這是一個開始。我將我的東西送給我的孩子，孫子孫女和曾孫子，作為生日和聖誕節禮物。”

“Good idea,” wrote another respondent. “Where did you get the checklist form?” At this point, the OP hadn’t mentioned a checklist or checklists, but he had a good answer to the question. “Collector Checklists from Liberty Coin. They have checklists for almost every coin. Free to print.”

“好主意，”另一位受訪者寫道。 “您從哪裡獲得清單表格？”在這一點上，OP尚未提及清單或清單，但他對這個問題有很好的答案。 “自由硬幣的收藏家清單。他們幾乎所有硬幣都有清單。免費打印。”

I went to Liberty Coin Service online and printed out a couple of the checklists that I would find useful in upgrading a couple of my collections. To give you an example of the checklists, here’s what I found on the list for Standing Liberty Quarters. The collection has three types, which are not always listed in this fashion. Type I is described as Bare Breast, Type II as Chain Mail Added, Raised Date, and Type III as Recessed Date. For each date, you can record the Grade, Purchase Date, and Price of the coins in your collection. These checklists would be very useful for someone inventorying a collection.

我在網上去了Liberty Coin Service，並打印出了幾個清單，這些清單我會發現在升級我的幾個收藏方面很有用。為了給您一個清單的例子，以下是我在清單上發現的自由宿舍。該系列有三種類型，並非總是以這種方式列出。 I型被描述為裸露的乳房，II型添加了鏈郵件，提高日期和III型作為嵌入式日期。對於每個日期，您可以記錄收藏中硬幣的等級，購買日期和價格。這些清單對於庫存收藏品的人非常有用。

Another collector mentioned that he has “. . . a growing collection of unopened shipping packages, full of coins, that still need to be inventoried.”

另一個收藏家提到他有“。 。 。越來越多的未打開的運輸套餐，充滿了硬幣，仍然需要庫存。”

At this point, my response is, how does he even know what’s in the packages? I can’t imagine not opening packages containing orders placed online. How could you be sure that what’s in the package is what you ordered and that the seller didn’t rip you off?

在這一點上，我的回答是，他甚至如何知道包裝中的內容？我無法想像不打開包含在線下訂單的軟件包。您怎麼能確定包裝中的內容是您訂購的，而賣方沒有將您撕掉？

Another respondent commented to the collector with the unopened boxes, “You also have a massive amount of self-control . . . or else you’re nuts. I’m going with self-control.”

另一位受訪者用未打開的盒子向收藏家發表了評論：“您也有大量的自我控制。 。 。否則你瘋了。我要自我控制。”

“No doubt,” Unopened Boxes wrote. “I simply throw them in the safe and forget about them. I do admit I am getting more leery of buying anything with a box anymore, since it’s much bulkier to store. I actually turned down an offer of some decent [ancient coins] because they were slabbed and in a display box. Nice set, but far too bulky for me to . . . deal with, but I would feel guilty throwing [the display box] away.”

“毫無疑問，”未打開的盒子寫道。 “我只是把它們扔進了安全的地方，而忘記了它們。我確實承認，我會再有更多用盒子買東西了，因為它可以存放得多。實際上，我拒絕了一些不錯的[古代硬幣]的提議，因為它們被貼上了表演框。不錯的套裝，但對我來說太笨重了。 。 。處理，但我會感到內gui（顯示框）。”

A new respondent offered some words of wisdom: “I made that decision [to inventory] some time ago. It is painful to get it all done but so rewarding when you do. You will probably change how you do it several times before you finish. Just speaking from experience.”

一個新的受訪者提供了一些智慧的話：“我（庫存）不久前就做出了決定。完成所有操作是很痛苦的，但是當您這樣做時，很有意義。在完成之前，您可能會更改幾次的方式。只是從經驗中說話。”

A new respondent admitted that inventorying his collection was still on his list of things to do. “Today, I started cleaning up my office so I can start inventorying, also. Got quite a bit of junk to get rid of [Who doesn’t?] before I can have enough space to actually work [with my collection].”

一位新受訪者承認，庫存他的收藏仍在他要做的事情清單上。 “今天，我開始清理辦公室，以便也可以開始庫存。在我有足夠的空間來實際工作（與我的收藏）之前，有很多垃圾要擺脫[誰沒有嗎？]。”

Another respondent wrote, “I use software to keep track of everything, but I let myself get several years behind. Big mistake. It took several months for me to catch up. I won’t let that happen again.”

另一位受訪者寫道：“我使用軟件跟踪所有內容，但我讓自己落後了幾年。大錯誤。我花了幾個月才能趕上。我不會讓這種情況再次發生。”

Another collector wrote, “Inventory?? Oh [heck] no. My inventory list consists of my registered/slabbed coins and albums. Coin by coin inventory would take me years to even attempt.” I can identify with this comment, as I have a lot of coins (junk silver, for example) that are not worth inventorying coin by coin.

另一個收藏家寫道：“庫存？哦[哎呀]不。我的庫存列表包括我的註冊/貼紙硬幣和專輯。硬幣庫存的硬幣會花我數年的時間才能嘗試。”我可以識別此評論，因為我有很多硬幣（例如垃圾銀）不值得庫存庫存。

Next, there was a collector who uses Excel for his inventory. “Took me about six months to log it all. I don’t know yet if I will start adding pictures. . .. I pretty much did this so there will be a time that my son would know what he inherited. Or I can sell it all myself and buy a nice dinner.”

接下來，有一個收藏家使用Excel進行庫存。 “花了大約六個月的時間來記錄所有內容。我還不知道我是否會開始添加圖片。 。 ..我幾乎做到了，所以我兒子會知道他繼承了什麼。否則我可以自己出售它，買一頓美餐。”

OP wrote, “I will not do an inventory of ALL my coins. I do plan on my sets and commemoratives. The ASE is finished.”

OP寫道：“我不會庫存所有硬幣。我確實計劃自己的場景和紀念活動。 ASE完成了。”

Another respondent keeps up with new coins, but not everything. “I won’t ever inventory all of mine either. Some of the coins I inherited 50+ years ago just aren’t worth the effort. . .. I buy so few new

另一名受訪者跟上新硬幣，但並非所有東西。 “我也不會清單所有我的庫存。我50多年前繼承的一些硬幣只是不值得付出的努力。 。 ..我買了很少的新
