IBGolden Pillar of the Community Canada 598 Posts	Posted 02/21/2009 7:44 pm Quote: Charlton has two types of books in print: 1) "Charlton Standard Catalogue" price listings of dealers will charge for coins. 2) "Standard Coin Guide" price listings of what prices dealers pay for coins. The first book goes into coin details and retails typically for $20.00, the second book just has dealer price offerings and sells typically for $8.00 (from member 1945V) Report this Post to the Staff

malissadawn Pillar of the Community Canada 1931 Posts	Posted 02/21/2009 8:11 pm I use both charlton and haxby actually. both seem to have a lot of information on the coins so I figured there was no way I could pick between the 2 of them. Report this Post to the Staff

malissadawn Pillar of the Community Canada 1931 Posts	Posted 02/24/2009 9:14 pm ooh I don't think they would have a free download anywhere. The company would never make any money if they gave the information away for free. It is possible but I have never seen it anywhere. The books really aren't all that expensive and you can buy one for less than $30.00 Report this Post to the Staff

Olmanjon I would get the catalogue... the guide is mainly lists of numbers. The catalogue has much more info and pictures. Get a used one from ebay or Amazon or such. If it's a year or two old it is hardly out of date and will be cheaper. Surely a well stocked US bookstore or coin shop would have new copies... or be able to order you a copy. I have the 2005 cataloge... It is well worn and definitely worth the price. I'm not interested in new circulating coinage, and the new collector stuff is on the Mint's website, so I don't even think of getting a new copy. Report this Post to the Staff
coinsnpaper Valued Member Canada 480 Posts	Posted 03/24/2009 05:02 am Haxby/Willey has coins, tokens, and bills in one volume, but they doi not have the information that is in the Charlton catalogues (things like specific replacement bills.) They do list some information not in Charlton, I believe. I use and like both. Report this Post to the Staff
