The Charlton Catalogue has been the true "standard" for Canadian collectors for over sixty years. James E. Charlton, the proprietor of Canada Coin Exchange, began publishing apamphlet listing the values of Canada's coins. He wasn't the first; New York dealer Wayte Raymond had already issued a price guide to Canada's decimal coins and tokens. ButCharlton began publishing his catalogue yearly, and it was well received. Whitman Publishing of Racine, Wisconsin began printing Charlton's catalogue in 1960. Many collectors arenow familiar with these blue hard cover catalogues. Whitman's distribution system increased sales. After the Charlton catalogue returned to Canada in 1971, Whitman decided toproduce a competing reference called Coins of Canada, by James Haxby and Robert C. Willey.

A boom in the coin market prompted Charlton Publishing to make changes to the Standard Catalogue. It was split into several separate volumes covering coins, bank notes,government paper money, and colonial tokens. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, they began publishing the Standard Catalogue of Canadian Coins twice a year to document thequickly rising prices in the coin market.

Since the 1990s, Charlton sought to expand its scope by publishing catalogues on Canadian Tire cash bonus coupons, die varieties, medals, communion tokens, trade dollars, andmore.
