Inputting your inventory of items into any one of the 53 inventory spreadsheets is quick and easy. Simply find where an item is listed, find its grade and then enter the number of them that you have. As fast as you can enter the quantity of items into the spreadsheets, the value of your collection is calculated - using the prices found in the tables. Several different calculations are performed. In the first calculation, the value of all of the items you have added are totaled first within the spreadsheet. Then its totaled in an Overview spreadsheet. Finally, its added into the Summary spreadsheet. Each step presents the value of your collection in a different way, from detail to overview to summary. Below is a view of the Summary spreadsheet:

In addition to the Summary spreadsheet, there are six other Overview spreadsheets that help give you a condensed view of what is in your collection. These spreadsheets are:

1. Business Denominations
2. Business Denominations - organized by obverse.
3. Collector Coins
4. Provincial Coins
5. Tokens
6. High Grade Coins
7. Bank of Canada Notes
8. Government Notes

These Overview spreadsheets give you an idea of the types of items found in your collection as well as their grades.

The High Grade Coins spreadsheet also gives you an idea of how many Cameo, Heavy Cameo and Ultra Heavy Cameo coins are found in your collection.

Color coding is used in the price tables to distinguish between prices obtained from auctions, advertised dealer prices or extrapolation, face value and prices input by the user. Also, the ability to filter items based upon the criteria you select, allows a measure of customization of the view you wish to see.
