Canandian Proof Sets

I just picked up a large collection of primarily US coins but with it came a number of Canadian Proofs sets and some misc. Canadian books of cents, nickels, etc. Are there any sets from the 70's and 80's which should be looked at for errors or something special or are these pretty much just sets to be sold off at wholesale prices? What's a good site to go to in order to understand value of Canandian coins?

Sorry for my lack of knowledge on Canadians.

    Look for the 1973 large bust 25c and the 1974 double yoke dollar. Otherwise, wholesale 'em.

    Need more info on the books of nickels, cents, etc. What dates are present, etc. Most QEII, post 1953, is common but there are a couple of popular varieties such as the 1964 extra water line 5c.

    I recommend getting a copy of Charlton's Canadian Coin Catalogue (less than $20 at Amazon).

    Hard to take pictures through the plastic but this appears to be a large bust 1973. Opinions?
