Making labels.

[JayAg47]

I’ve been putting it off for a while now, and just got around to make these attribution labels. I didn’t print off anything, just a simple handwritten tags with basic information. The album itself comes with a labelling page, but I shuffle coins with new additions, so having individual labels are better.

please share your set-ups!

You are not alone with your handwritten labels.

 

Here are some handwritten labels from famous collections:

In a few hundred years whatever write today may still be with the coin, pretty cool!  Now I'd love to see how Emperor Augustus labeled his coins he famously had!

I like the handwritten approach and use those (almost) 2 X 2 square pieces of heavy archival paper. They come pre-cut or you can get the ruler and scissors out.

In his slave's best Latin.  😉

I think I have organization problems with my small collection, but imagine having to deal with all those tiny scrolls!

I used to make labels when I kept my coins in flips.  I since changed it up to trays.

What I do now is create a page for each coin and print it, and put it in a punch hole binder, I create the same page for coin online, like CollecOnline.

On the physical copy, I also add a QR code, which links to the online page for that coin.

I don't know if this is productive or worth it, but its fun and engaging and I have  both physical page on the coin, with photo, specs, and details, which links to the same online coin page.

It is however behind on updates as it can be a process, I try to force myself to do this at least once a month, but ya know how that goes.
