Jim Charlton Dead at 102

Charlton’s name will forever be  synonymous with Canadian numismatics for his work as a coin dealer and numismatic publisher.  His presence alone at coin shows and conventions made such events memorable.  The funeral is to take place Saturday September 28th, 2013 and Canadian Coin News promises to post more information as it becomes available.
