BACKGROUND
This is a second attempt at the "Coin List Assistant." It has most of the same features as the Assistant program, but instead of copying one coin to the clipboard at a time it can store a list of all the submitted coins then save the list in a CSV or TXT format. Just like the older version, it stores all the years, grades, descriptions, and values entered by the user so that the user can easily select them in the future.
What was the point of remaking what was essentially the same program? Well, I wanted to see how much I could develop in just 2.5 hours with Visual Basic. Apparently, I can get far more done than I can in 2 days with wxWidgets. That is not a fair comparison, however, because I have far more experience with Visual Basic.

FEATURES
- Provides a way for the user to enter a coin's year, grade, description, and face value - each property is optional
- Allows user to store coin information to application so the entire list can be copied over in one or two batches
- Allows user to enter new properties if the necessary information does not already exist in the program. The new property is then sorted and saved for future use.
- Coin information can be saved with tabs so that it is easily placed into a properly formatted Word document
- Coin information can also be saved in a CSV format so that it can easily be placed into an Excel document
