Title
The Charlton Press - Authoritative Catalogues on 20th Century Collectables
Description
The Charlton Press began over 50 years ago in Toronto, Canada, when the first numismatic price guide was published, the 1952 Catalogue of Canadian Coins, Tokens & Fractional Currency. The cover price on that first edition was 50-cents.
Through the fifties and into the sixties the catalogue under went a name change or two settling into THE STANDARD CATALOGUE OF CANADIAN COINS. It was the birth of the 'standard' and what was soon to become the 'bible' of Canadian coins, with over a million copies in print. The original guide is now divided into four catalogues: COINS, TOKENS, GOVERNMENT PAPER MONEY and CHARTER BANK NOTES.
To supplement the 'STANDARD' in 1962, the Press began publishing a dealers' buying guide (The Charlton Coin Guide). With the bouyant coin market of the time this guide soon was selling tens of thousands of copies. Beside numismatic books, the early years saw the publishing of Lymans, a Canadian stamp catalogue and, of course the stamp albums that were need to accompany it. It is interesting to note that Lymans was the first four-color stamp catalogue published in North America.
