James (Jim) Charlton (July 26, 1911 - September 20, 2013) It was Jim Charlton’s experience as an avid numismatist that inspired him to create a catalogue for coin collectors. In 1926, when Jim Charlton was 15, his older brother Harry Charlton gifted him a United States 1863 Indian Head cent.〔Allen, Don H. 2001. J.E. Charlton: Coinman To Canadians. Ontario: The Charlton Press. P. 49; Evans, Bret. 2013. “Loss of a Numismatic Great”. Canadian Coin News. October 22, 2013-November 4, 2013 Issue. Photograph courtesy of William K. Cross. November 1, 2014.〕 It was from this initial exposure to coins that Jim Charlton developed an interest in numismatics, frequently visiting coin dealers, and purchasing coins from second-hand stores in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.〔Allen, Don H. 2001. J.E. Charlton: Coinman To Canadians. Ontario: The Charlton Press. P. 49.〕 Charlton continued to cultivate his interest in coins while moving to Northern Ontario for work as an engineer from 1933 to 1948. But, it was his return to Toronto in April 1948 after accepting a position as a Steam Engineer for ''the Star'' (now ''Toronto Star'') that allowed him to expand his collection.〔Allen, Don H. 2001. J.E. Charlton: Coinman To Canadians. Ontario: The Charlton Press. P. 59.〕 By actively acquiring withdrawn circulation coinage from bank acquisitions, coin auctions, and inventories from coin shops, Charlton’s collection grew exponentially.〔Allen, Don H. 2001. J.E. Charlton: Coinman To Canadians. Ontario: The Charlton Press. P. 64.〕 While continuing his work as chief Steam Engineer at ''The Star'', Charlton ran Canada Coin Exchange, a coin business from his home on a part-time basis during evenings and Saturdays with his wife Mary (nee Tyndall) from 1948 until 1956.〔Allen, Don H. 2001. J.E. Charlton: Coinman To Canadians. Ontario: The Charlton Press. P. 65.〕
