 Always go with The Canadian Coin News Trend Pricing, it's the "Bible" price guide for all Canadian coins for 99% of buyers/collectors and dealers! Glenn  |

That website is not very accurate on just pricing too,  it lists a 1 cent 1997 - W  there were NO 1 cent made in 1997 with a W mark on coin.  there IS a 1 cent made in 1998 with a W mark on coin. Edited by Penny4Me

There are some pretty intricate details on errors and varieties there, and most of the prices are reasonably correct.
I laugh when they list certain Elizabeth II coins in like G-4 though!

When you see a 1991 quarter priced at $1.20 that is for a circulated coin AU-50. Comparing my Charlton to coinsandcanada the prices are very similair. If you click on 1991, you'll see MS, PL, & SP grades. These are the coins that are priced from $6.50 to $200.....again these prices are VERY much in line with the Charlton.

@ penny4me. There is such a thing as a 1997W cent. In 1997 proof-like sets were produced in Ottawa and Winnipeg without mint marks. They can be told apart from the positioning of the $1 and 50 Cent coins. When the Polar Bear is at the top, the Ottawa sets have the 50 Cent coin at the left, and the 1 Dollar coin at the right. The Winnipeg sets have the Dollar coin at the left, and the 50 Cent coin at the right. Once removed from the mint packaging there is no way to tell them apart.

I've always found it to be a good guide. Not 100% all the time but coin prices do change over time and things like CCN Trends are a little more dynamic while things like Charlton are less. Things like varieties can be more variable; particular as there are multiple ways of defining/cataloguing them. At the end of the die the price is what the buyer is willing to pay and the seller is willing to give it up for.

I use that site as a basic guide for varieties and general information. I post it for people who are just getting started or trying to learn a bit about Canadian Coinage. I wouldn't say its the Canadian Coin Bible, but a valuable Canadian Coin Reference site none the less.

I would suggest $1.20 for a 1991 in AU50 is generous.
I doubt that anything of that vintage less than MS63 is worth around face value.

There is no accurate price guide for Canadian coins,Trends in Canadian Coin News is better than the rest but contains many inaccuracies,and doesn't update modern issues often enough.For common coins like the 1991 25ΒΆ,completed sales on ebay,gives a more accurate price estimate than any guide. 1991 quarters don't sell for less than $9 in any condition,ICCSMS64 seems to fetch about$15-$18,and MS65 $40-$70 |

I was also wondering why they didn't show prices for MS coins. Too much information?

Libertad, if you click on a year it gives much more detailed information including MS grades, SP, PL grades and varieties.
