Charlton Standard Catalogue – Volume One, Numismatic Issues 2026

We are now accepting Pre-Orders for this catalogue, which Charlton says will be ready by Nov. 28.

First published in 1952, the Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian Coins has stood for more than seven decades as the primary reference trusted by collectors, dealers and auction professionals across Canada. Originating with James E. Charlton’s ground breaking catalogue of Canadian coins, tokens and fractional currency, the series quickly became an essential tool for identifying, valuing and studying Canadian numismatic issues.

Over the years, the catalogue has evolved alongside the hobby. When the line was divided into two volumes, Volume One became dedicated to numismatic issues—covering business strikes, commemoratives and all legal tender coinage circulating or issued in Canada from the 19th century to the present. Each edition continues Charlton’s longstanding commitment to accurate, research-based pricing that reflects real conditions in the Canadian market.

Collectors rely on the catalogue for its clear presentation of dates, mintages, varieties and key diagnostics, all compiled in a convenient, portable format ideal for use at shows, in shops or at home. Now in its 78th edition, the Charlton Standard Catalogue remains Canada’s longest-running and most respected coin identification and price guide, a resource used by generations of numismatists.
