bosox Pillar of the Community United States 1348 Posts	Posted 02/13/2025 7:27 pm I just heard that Bill passed away a couple of weeks ago. For those who did not know him, he was a great guy and a giant in Canadian numismatics. He was the longtime owner of Charlton International and editor of the Charlton catalogue. He was instrumental in the formation of ICCS and CAND. More importantly to me, he was an informal mentor. When I first started writing, there were times I wondered if I was doing anything worthwhile. Bill convinced me that I was, and he helped me get going by plugging my books and by selling them on the Charlton website for a while. I also worked closely with him on the 2011 large cent variety section of the Charlton catalogue. He was great to work with on that project. I will miss him and his sense of humor. http://www.victoriancent.com 2011 & 2025 Fred Bowman Award Winner, 2020 J. Douglas Ferguson Award Winner, & 2022 Paul Fiocca Award Winner. Life Member of RCNA.

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5584 Posts	Posted 02/13/2025 9:21 pm Thanks for the info, Rob. I always enjoyed talking to him at shows and informal meets. He was a great guy and he put our names in print with the 65th Charlton. And Charlton hasn't been the same since he left. Report this Post to the Staff

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5584 Posts	Posted 02/16/2025 08:31 am I very nice resume and it brought back many memories of sitting down with he and his wife when they had finished their breakfasts before and/or during a large coin show(S). Once they moved to Florida, numismatics started a gentle slide backwards here in the T.O. area. Edited by okiecoiner 02/16/2025 08:32 am Report this Post to the Staff

If he was, he was a total lurker. http://www.victoriancent.com 2011 & 2025 Fred Bowman Award Winner, 2020 J. Douglas Ferguson Award Winner, & 2022 Paul Fiocca Award Winner. Life Member of RCNA.
