commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12252 Posts	Posted 03/20/2022 1:39 pm As those who follow my posts already know, I collect US commemorative coins AND items associated with them. Such items can be books, medals, wooden money, original mailers/holders, original promotional material, original order forms, etc. Over my time here on CCF, I've posted many such items from my collection. With this post (and those linked to it) I'm presenting another facet of US commemorative coin history - the coin pages/boards printed by Wayte Raymond for the classic US commemorative coins. My intention is to create an online, visual reference catalog for these pages/boards. To my knowledge, a similar reference is not available on the internet so this is a CCF exclusive - at least until someone copies it! Almost 10 years ago, I posted a quick overview of Wayte Raymond's boards for US commemorative coins, you can read it here: Wayte Raymond Commemorative Coin Boards. In each of the entries linked below, I have included an image of the front of each commemorative coin board Wayte Raymond produced for the set. The back of each board is essentially blank, save for its Board ID number, publisher information and patent number, but I have included an image of the first board from each set to illustrate its appearance; the backs of the remaining boards in each set are the same except for the Board ID Number which is a combination of number and letter. The range of ID numbers for each board set is specified. Wayte Raymond Coin Boards 1. Introduction 2. Commemorative Half Dollars - Complete Date and Mint Mark Set 3. Commemorative Half Dollars - Type Set 4. Oregon Trail Memorial Commemorative Half Dollar Set 5. Texas Independence Centennial Commemorative Half Dollar Set 6. Daniel Boone Birth Bicentennial Commemorative Half Dollar Set 7. Arkansas Statehood Centennial Commemorative Half Dollar Set 8. Booker T. Washington Birthplace Memorial Commemorative Half Dollar Set 9. George Washington Carver - Booker T. Washington Commemorative Half Dollar Set 10. Commemorative Coins and Medals 11. Commemorative Gold Coins Set 12. National Coin Albums I'm beginning with a listing of the small Wayte Raymond pages/coin boards for the silver coins of the US commemorative series. I will swing back with images and descriptions of Raymond's large collecting boards and gold coin board soon. If you ever decide to start collecting these boards, or are currently collecting them, this visual catalog should help guide your pursuit and help ensure you are purchasing the genuine article!
