The other advantage of the Charlton Standard Catalogue is that it documents a brief historical account of the changes to our coinage, including reasons why and how some varieties came to be. Therefore in addition it serves somewhat as a learning tool as opposed to that of simple valuation.
As well - not saying I'm an expert - BUT by observing the current values throughout the various grades in conjuction to the mintage for that specific denomination, compared to other similar decimals, it is sometimes possible to predict whether future values of specific graded coins will trend upwards or downward, and thus where opportunity may lay. The layout of the Charlton Calelogue makes this easy to do - not rocket science, simply the applied rule of supply and demand.
