Being a cheapskate is costing me more in time than it would have in money.

I have started a long and at times confusing job of posting photo's of all the coins in my registry. I have taken what I think are good photo's of all but 25 of my coins. The pain in the behind is cropping and renaming all the pictures with their cert. number. Then trying to find them in my registry to add the coin and any other info I have on the coin.

On the good side I'm saving over $3000 and thats without counting the 40 some odd coins I have sent in for grading this month. The big question is is it worth the time and headache? Ok I'll have to say yes it is. With $3000 saved I can send in more coins for grading or buy more coins to complete some sets I have started.

This is my first year really collecting the coins that intrest me which are modern coins in mint and proof sets. And I've just started a comm. set that will take me years to complete but will be well worth the time. So off I go using my 20 plus years behind a camera thinking to myself theres another $5 saved. Is it worth it? only God knows for sure.
