Canada’s “Mr. Coin” would have been, and still is, James E. Charlton. Jim, through a generation of priced coin catalogues that he produced and published (1952-1980) and the succeeding Charlton Press editions that well perpetuate his name, and through a great range of other business and promotional activities, brought popular numismatics — the “coin hobby” to Canadians, as no one had before. Jim’s unstinting efforts also served, not incidentally, to make aspects of Canadian numismatics — coins, tokens, paper money — more known and sought outside the country than ever had been the case. This biography also includes a series of appendices highlighting many historically important events in Canadian numismatics over the past fifty years. Coin buffs will appreciate the 50-year price comparison of 16 selected Canadian coins, and all will enjoy the over sixty photos which lead the reader through 20th-century coin collecting in Canada. If you are interested in Canadian numismatics, you will want to read this first-hand account of a great Canadian collector.
