10I hope you find this system to be of value in maintaining and
10completing your coin collection. The main idea is to be able to
10have a system which provides a checklist which does not have to
10be purchased each year and re-entered each year. Ability to
10customize to suit your needs was a key design point. Also you
10can provide as much or as little data about your coins as you
10like (only quantity and grade are required).
