   ****THIS IS A PF4 PICK LIST FIELD****
   This field is for entering the TYPE of
   coin. ie.(NICKEL - SHIELD). This is a
   KEY field used for sorting data.
   NOTE: Using PF4 will display a pick-
   list of acceptable names for use in
   this field. When using PF4, you can
   eliminate scrolling through all the
   entries by specifying an approximate
   partial key ie. (N) will start at the
   NICKEL portion of the list. Scrolling
   down the list you will see the entries
   HIGHLIGHTED as you pass over them.
   When an appropriate entry is located
   and highlighted pressing ENTER will
   move that entry to the TYPE field.

   **** A PF4 PICK-LIST FIELD ****
   Indicates the grade of the coin
   being entered. This is another
   pick-list field. The listed
   grades are sufficient to cover
   most all situations with the
   exception of SLIDERS or split
   grades. Once again, I chose
   to add the pick-list so that
   all entries would be uniform.
   If you specify that a report
   or display should show only
   your perfect proof coins then
   all the coins graded that way
   MUST be uniform on the data-
   base.

   an indicator for reports and displays.
   I recommend that you use the following
   CODES: I = IN STOCK, you have the coin.
              The default response.
          T = TRADED, you traded for some
              other coin or item.

              coin.
          S = SOLD, you sold the coin.
          W = WANT, you can generate a
              want list to be used when
              you attend shows etc. This
              will require some extra data
              entry but the printed report
              will be handy.

   This information is far too
   dynamic to be assigned by
   this program. The price of
   coins change hourly. This

   in most coin publications.
   For convenience, I have put
   this field here along with
   the COST field. When you
   enter a retail and cost I
   calculate your profit and
   percentage of profit based
   on gross profit margin.
