Hi Folks,

I have the 2004 edition of "Coins of Canada" by J.A. Haby and R.C. Willey. Now, this may seem like a silly question, but are the prices listed in this book in US or Canadian dollars? I assume that they must be in Canadian dollars, since they are much higher than my 2004 (1801-1900 Version) Standard Catalogue of World Coins (Krause/Mishler). But, I cannot find this point made anywhere in the book.

However, currency differences alone do not account for the higher prices in this book, so is it what is the deal with these two books? For instance, a VG 1900 Newfoundland 50 cent piece in Krause/Mishler is listed as $5 while it is $15 in the "Coins of Canada" book. There are other less extreme examples, but they coins all seem higher then what currency values would create.

Best Regards,
- Hal
