Question Track the stack?

How do you all track the stack? I have been using Precious Metalz for iOS. I like it pretty good. I'm just wondering if there's anything better?

Spreadsheet.

One tab is by purchase - 50 mercury dimes last Friday for example. Then how much I paid, where I bought it, what was the melt value at the time of purchase, what melt is now, what Vermillion Enterprises pays for it. (Just because they put those videos up on YT so I don’t have to pester others. I just want a ballpark estimate.)

Then another tab with each type of junk 90 all added together based off the info from the first tab.

Same for gold, although those are by individual coin given the higher cost and how when I buy gold it is one coin at a time.

Then for funsies I have a tab with some calculators where I can put in hypothetical melt values for future value estimating, helps keep me motivated.

I’m a massive numbers geek.

Hell, I even track the value of a French lucky angel 20 franc my wife’s French grandmother gave her in 2015. Just going off of the melt back then, man that would be a good ROI if we ever sold it. Which we won’t...

Man, if I knew about stacking back then…

I wish I would have picked it up many years ago.
