Description

Alexander Carsley founded Carsley in 1928, and was an early pioneer in the Montreal numismatic community. He built a family business, with a storefront to serve collectors. This business grew over the years and was relocated to St-Catherine Street. In August 1999, Carsley was purchased by Thompson & Whetstone, a Montreal company that since 1989, has been engaged in buying and valuating estates and private collections. The two companies were merged, and operations were amalgamated at our current address. Michael Joffre our President is a lifelong collector and dealer. His areas of expertise include all aspects of coins and paper money, as well as many "pop-culture" collectables such as comic books and trading cards. He is a former Investment Advisor with Merrill Lynch, and National Bank of Canada, and as a result has a unique view on the collectables industry from a collector, dealer, and investor perspective. Bill Whetstone, our Managing Director, and Senior Buyer, is a former President of the International Society of Appraisers and has a solid background in antiques, silver, estate jewelry, rare coins, fine art, and European art glass. He has over 40 years of numismatic expertise, and an educational background as an honors graduate in History at McGill university.
