    Is Coin World's publication "Worldwide Coins" an accurate representation of what dealers use for price points on Mexican and Canadian coins?

    Have not read it, but based on their values of U.S. coins, I would say no. I usually take a little more than half of their prices when valuing coins.

    Good question. Is it in the Grey Sheet? You wonder what everyone did before the Nuimastic version of the Daily Racing Form.

    If I am not mistaken the greysheet is only for US coins. And then it is only for certain ones. The quarterlys pick up where the weekly CDN skips.

    I subscribed to the greysheet last year for a one year subscription.
    It did not list Canadian coins except the silver and gold Maple Leaf bullion.
    So tell me, how do you get Canadian coin values from the greysheet?

    Use the one you mentioned and just divide the prices by about 30 to 40 %.

    IDK could be both of us. There are prices listed in the Krause catalog, don't know if they are like redbook prices (usually high(not me, the prices) or not.

    I thought Krause was an encyclopedic volume

    I have the 2009 Standard Catalog of World Coins 1901-2000. It gives some brief information about a country and its monetary system. It then starts with information of coins by era/date then type. Catalog gives info on metal type, diameter, mintage, etc. Then gives a listing of the different values in different grades. MS 60-70 gets summed up with UNC and BU.

    No, It's soft cover and about 3 inches thick. I think comes out once a year.

    The bi-weekly CANADIAN COIN NEWS has TRENDS but it is in $CDN so you have to do a conversion. Also COINS or COIN VALUES publish Canadian & Mexican values at least once a year, usually in March. Values in WORLDWIDE COINS seemed to be a lot higher than the others.

    The Canadian equivilant to the RED BOOK is the Charlton Standard Catalog of Canadian Coins. If you collect Canadian a Charlton is really worth the money as an information source.

    I live in a small town. But even this local library has the Krause manual.
    But it is for reference use and you can't take it home. One winter day I took a whole box of world coins down to the library and researched them. I wrote the KM number on all the 2X2 holders.
    I would think that any library in New York would have the current Krause.
