Przez całe życie był mieszkańcem Brighton, który zaczął zbierać monety jako nastolatek, spędził piętnaście lat w zespołach audytowych Poczty w Londynie, zanim kontakty w sobotnim porannym klubie w Brighton skierowały go w stronę profesjonalnej numizmatyki.

Michael Baruch Sharp (1940-2012) was an English numismatist noted for his expertise in British hammered coinage, particularly that of Charles I. A lifelong Brighton resident who began collecting coins in his teens, he spent fifteen years in Post Office audit teams in London before contacts at Brighton's Saturday morning club steered him toward professional numismatics. Joining A. H. Baldwin & Sons in 1972, Sharp became the firm's principal specialist on hammered coins, cataloguing major collections and the “Thames Hoard”; he moved to Dix Noonan Webb in 2002 and retired in 2007. He authored several significant papers and left an unfinished study of Jacobite medals.
