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,

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!
