A Substantial Run of Charlton Auction Catalogues
Charlton, James E. / Intergold / Charlton Auctions, etc. CANADIAN NUMISMATIC AUCTION CATALOGUES. Firm name varies. Toronto, etc. 1972-1984. Over 50 auction catalogues issued by these related firms. Varying formats. Includes the Canadian Numismatic Association's auction catalogues for 1975-1976 and 1979-1981, Torex catalogues for 1978-1984, and a large run of 32 of the minor but very scarce "mini-sales" conducted from 1975 to 1980. Many sales have printed or photocopied prices realized lists. A few issues of The Charlton Bulletin are also included. Condition ranges from very good to fine. Jim Charlton (1911-2013) was the modern pioneer of the Canadian coin trade, doing much to revitalize the hobby in Canada after the doldrums of the 1930s and 1940s. His first mail-bid sale was conducted in 1950, and the first edition of his Catalogue of Canadian Coins, Tokens & Fractional Currency was published in 1952. His 1969 CNA sale was the last auction conducted by him, and he transitioned into what turned out to be a very long retirement (though he remained active in many non-commercial aspects of the hobby for years to come). The company was continued by Jack Forbes, William Cross, and others. This set includes many of the sales conducted by the later firm, including important CNA and Torex sales. Ex Phil Carrigan Library.
