Hi all,
This came in the door today....any idea as to values? Also, it was only one page... Im sure they have the rest...they are looking...are their keys to the series? SC Halves are mostly blast white and problem free, picture stinks , will work on a better one.

See So Called Dollars on here all the time..never halves.
THANKS RJ

    I believe those were sold as a set back in the 1930s or later. I don't recall ever seeing pages made for any but those pieces. I have no idea as to value. They do appear to be in nice condition.

    I have bought a few of those pages while working in coin shops. I have never seen a later page.

    Not sure when the various pieces were struck or the holder board printed. The conditions of the pieces make me suspect that they were all struck at the same time, regardless of the dates on the pieces. My guess would be late 1950's or early 1960's.

    Jeff Shevlin should know the true story behind these.

    I believe it was the only page issued, with the medals included. David Lange (across the street) would probably have a history of the Wayte Raymond page. As for value, the two Confederate pieces are the priciest - since they are included maybe $100-$150 for the set.

    Recently the Robert E Lee one came up on Ebay it sold for $40.00
    and the Confederate Seal sold on Ebay for $31.00 on 3-27-19. I should know since I was bidding on them. I did not win them since I did not want to spend that much. I guess I was feeling cheap but they were really nice ones. Here are the pictures of the ones that were for sale. I cannot tell by your pictures but I am guessing these on Ebay were a bit nicer.

    No offense of course.

    Hope that helps
