A friend has a very large collection of canadian coins and wants me to appraise it. Is there a published price guide? I know there is a canadian "trends", but is this as accurate, ie inflated, as the US trends?

    Yes, there is a Canadian 'Grey Sheet'. You can usually buy Canadian coins for 60-70% or so of Trends. Of course, there are excetions. I have bought PCGS slabbed Canadian coins for as low as 55% of Trends.

    I agree.

    Canadian Trends is a good guide.

    Currently dealers are hesitant to buy ICCS graded Canadian coins even at 50%, whereas last year (before the economic downturn) they were even paying 60% of trends for mediocre graded coins.

    The Canadian market has been hit far worse than the US market.

    or put it another way...when thinking of the Canadian market, think of what happened to the Franklin half market.
