Commems Collection Classic: Wayte Raymond Commemorative Coin Boards - Arkansas Centennial Set

In addition to the Type Set and Complete Set boards, Wayte Raymond also produced mini-sets of boards for the multi-year coin programs of the series. First up are the boards for the 1935-39 Arkansas Statehood Centennial half dollars (16 in total, 8 per board). The Stock Numbers for the two boards in the set are: 319A and 391B.
