Website with accurate wholesale Canadian coin prices ?

thebeav

Good Morning,
Can anyone direct me to a website where I can find reasonably accurate modern Canadian coin prices. Things like Double dollar sets, specimen sets, Bu and Proof silver dollars and the like. I need to do an appraisal and am looking for gray-sheet like numbers.
Thank you !

There is no Greysheet for Canadian coins. There are multiple price guides such as Charlton, Haxby & Willey, North American Coin Prices, Krause, Canadian Coin News Trends to name a few.

All have their deficiencies and generally represent high retail. Most coins can be retail purchased at 70-80% of catalogue and many for much less. When I evaluate a collection I use the catalogue values as High Retail and tell my client that this would be the insurance value. Then advise them that they should expect to achieve half of that when time to sell. Don't forget to factor in the current exchange rate.

Thanks Gene.....
I know the Canadian gray sheet has been out of publication for some time. Well, actually, it was a white sheet.
I remember when Mike Findlay was publishing it up in Toronto.
I was just hoping for some easy to navigate website of some kind of pricing. I suppose I will just use a percentage of J&M's pricing or some such thing.
Thanks again for chiming in.....
Paul

wholesale prices for coins?
Just not possible for real true numismatic items where values are determined on what someone is willing to pay for an item.
this would actually mean that there are regular markets with set catalog prices, certain discounts for good customers, better discounts and overrides for better and top customers.
......IF there was a wholesale pricing.
And, who would qualify to receive this preferential pricing??
would be nice to be able to call your favorite coin wholesaler and place a order on the first day of your invoice month (payable within 30 days from invoice date):
Cat# CDN100C-1948MS64-PCGS-W.= Canada $1 1948 MS64 PCGS slabbed in all white, and a CDN50C-1890MS62-ICCS = 1890 50 cent ICCS MS62
after all, your latest catalog shows exactly that.
No problem says the order desk:
"we have stock. would you like to pick them up or have them shipped by FEDEX at an extra shipping cost of $200?"

In the coin market, I consider wholesale prices what the coins sell for at auction and retail prices what you'd expect to pay at a dealer's shop.

Walter, that is one way of looking at it. But as long as everyone can bid at that auction, your idea does not work.
