Hello,
Can someone indicate to me if a comprehensive web site exists displaying all of the current values and coin metal compositions for Canada proof coins from ranging at least 1980 through 1999?
The reason I need this is because I saw about 30 of these types of slabs that will be soon up for auction.
For the year 1996, for example, one of these slabs might contain six (6) coins: a penny, nickel, dime, quarter, half dollar, and dollar.
Ideally, it also would be nice to see the current value of the entire proof set for each of these years as well as the individual values of each of the proof coins.
I am sure I could look up each individual coin using CoinQuest or the NGC look-up tool but I was really looking for some guide that had all of this info. together in one or two pages for a quick comparative reference etc.
Please get back with me at your earliest convenience.
Thanks,

One of the reference you could look at is the Charlton Standard Catalogue Canadian Coins Volume Two 2nd Edition,2011.
Pages 283 and 284

cd,
I do not know if I am asking too much of you here but I am having extreme difficulty finding a 'local' copy of this book you refer to in the KY/IN area.
It is not just something that would sell good enough for a bookstore to stock or a public library to keep etc.
In summary I am just looking for the prices and metal compositions for proof Canadian coins in the 80s and 90s.
The auction is tomorrow afternoon and I am afraid that I am going to strike out obtaining anything soon enough to help me.
Additionally, the URL link that tfred tried to send me was auto removed for some unknown reason.
My email is insurto@hotmail.com.
If it is not too much of an inconvenience I would really appreciate your assistance in this urgent matter.
This would obviously be the one and only request from me to you regarding this matter regarding any Canadian coins but it would surely hold me over until I can get a book shipped to me.
Would it be too much trouble for you to scan/email those two pages and send them to me before 9 AM EDT, Aug. 3rd, 2011?
Thanks again,
Mark (mdpmedia)

mdpmedia,
I do not know about the USA laws about copyrights but I know that the Catalogue I referred to cannot be reproduced in part on the forum.You could check some Canadian dealers on the net.They have all of the Mint products listed by years.Good luck

1) What are the general differences between a Canadian proof set and a Canadian proof-like set?
2) Also what are the general differences between a Canadian proof set and a Canadian proof-like set in terms of silver content?
Both of these questions should pertain to coins of the 1980s and 1990s for my needs.

^ Proof-like is the unofficial term for the brilliant uncirculated mint sets. Theoretically, they are prepared the same as circulation strikes, but in practice, the coins are struck with a lot more care and look better. During the period 1980 to 1999, brilliant uncirculated sets contain no silver. Proof sets are struck with special presses on special polished planchets, and are (somewhat) comparable to US Mint proof sets. The RCM started producing these in 1981. From the period 1981-1995, each proof set contains one silver dollar. The other coins are nickel or copper. From 1981-91, this dollar is 50% silver (0.375 oz). From 1992-95, this dollar is 92.5% silver (0.75 oz). In 1996, each proof set contains a 92.5% silver 5 cents, 10 cents, 25 cents, 50 cents and a silver dollar. It also has a nickel dollar. 5 cents - 0.1591 oz 10 cents - 0.0714 oz 25 cents - 0.1734 oz 50 cents - 0.3461 oz 1 dollar - 0.75 oz In 1997, 1998 and 1999, a silver two dollar coin was added to the proof set. It has 0.2626 oz. The rest of the set is the same as 1996. Edited by EastVanRob
