The catalog value of any items entered into the spreadsheets is calculated immediately, allowing the user to determine the approximate retail value of his or her collection. Two spreadsheets contain pricing for high grade Premium Quality and Cameo coins, which is a first for a catalog of Canadian coins. Another first is the software based lookup tables that allows a user to see specific views of any items listed in the spreadsheets.

Prices can even be converted into a foreign currency of your choosing, and you can adjust the price of bullion coins with fluctuations in the spot market.
