Thanks for the clarification. As these are the only two issues of Canadian Coin News I have read, I assumed that there were no changes in six months. No changes in a two week span I could understand but it looked like no changes in six months. I will compare the two issues again and look to see where the modest changes lie.

With respect to the difference between CCN and the Charlton... You want to see difference in prices, look at Coins and Canada prices..  |

 Trend pricing for coins are determined by a vast array of networks, auction sales, dealer/investor recommendations, Collector purchases, etc. Also bare in mind that trend pricing is NOT set in stone and is merely a guideline to which a negotiation between buyer/seller can generally begin at. If for example you have an I.C.C.S., 1948 silver dollar for sale in MS-60, both Charlton and C.C.N. list it for $1,800.00. If either one was +/- $100.00 in difference, it would still not make a huge difference in the final price negotiated by buyer/seller. The way I determine the value of a coin I'm interested in purchasing is to view C.C.N. trends, Charlton trends, past E-bay sales, past icollector sales, current E-bay auction prices for similar graded coins. With this information in hand, I make a final judgement what I'm willing to pay for / sell a particular coin for! Glenn  Edited by glenzy1

Trends may not change that often, but lets not forget all the great articles. The CCN is not just for pricing.

lets not forget all the great articles. Those are few and far between.CCN would better serve collectors as a monthly rather than bi-weekly publication.Trends change so slowly and many of the articles seem to be just filling space.It smacks of advertising rag. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

A little bit of sarcasm, and a bit of truth. Being on the east coast, I don't get to attend many large shows (except CoinExpo and Nuphlex), and there is not a large numismatic community here so I use the CCN to suck as much information as I can out of it. I even use the ads to see whats hot and whats not. For a novice collector I believe the CCN does its job, but for the more advanced collector, it leaves you unsatisfied. I like DBMs idea of a monthly magazine if it meant better more in depth articles.

 on the east Coast, tfred and I are about the only coin Collectors around. You folks in Ontario and out west take alot for granted. Major coin shows/venues at every street corner, coin clubs and coin stores in every city, you get my drift! This is why us starving Numismatists in the Atlantic Region absorb as much as we can from newsletters, internet, online auctions, E-bay and right here on C.C.F.! Glenn  |

You stand to gain an incredible amount of information, being a member of the RCNA, more than you'll ever get from Canadian Coin News.

I have "read" CCN in its various forms since 1963 and generally agree that without the Trends section it would not survive a month.
However I must say that the recent run of articles by Ted Banning about Canadian Nuisancematic History and our important historical people is not to be ignored. Since 1963 these are the only items I have ever cut out and saved to a paper research file and I hope Mr. Banning can be persuaded to publish them all when he runs his run. These should be required reading for anyone who calls themself a numismatist.

I have some back issues tucked away that I review once in a while. If your expecting huge increases in value after 10 years, then you are in for a shock as I don't see that happening. Prices do rise but not dramatically. These retail prices are a great resource and I use them daily in my quest for new purchases. Yes, I believe that the trends is current and that dealers and collectors alike use this as a way to price their possessions.

I also keep an Excel spreadsheet of PCGS- and NGC-graded Canadian coin prices from ebay and Heritage. It helps to know the PCGS number, that way I can look it up in the Heritage auction archives as well very quickly. Best Regards, George |

 Colhand1, you are absolutely right of your analysis on trends over the past decade. Back in the 1970's and 80's trends took a fairly large leap, however, those days I fear are long over. I think most of us, myself included, will take a loss on our Collection when time comes to sell, so if anyone is getting into this Hobby on a get rich quick scheme, you'll be in for a sweet shock!
