2012 Charlton Canadian Catalogue Vol. 1

The good folks at Amazon.com delivered my new Charlton Catalogue in a timely manner today and I spent an idle hour perusing it.
Once again the catalog is THE defining general reference for collectors of the coinage of Canada.
Excellent photography as usual.
They still have the annoying quirk of not explaining some codes/abbreviations that are not readily understandable.
Over the years I figured them out but they are sure to confuse newbies.
I wonder if the Haxby "Coins of Canada" will be issued this year, since Whitman will soon (hopefully) release its guide to Canadian coinage by Haxby.

    I believe the Haxby edition is already out and the Whitman is due later this year.

    It's quite ironic this year. Haxby has had nothing to do with the annual "Haxby" for a long time .. He sold the name at the same time he did book/publishing. Actually Jim Haxby is the one putting out (or at least authoring most of) the Whitman this year. Just think .. to get Haxby, you have to buy Whitman.
