So I was at the fun show and was looking at coins, etc. I was selling a few coins to a dealer and noticed a Wayte raymond page. I asked to see it. He told me 7 of them. I was in heaven! As I was waiting and getting ready to leave I looked under his table... There was more!! 52 pages in all. I am stoked to say the least. I bought every last one of them.

The large pages are extra cool. The smaller pages are super cool and leeg is gonna be drooling. Looks like most all are unused. There are tons of commem pages. Just a killer find for me. Made my show!

Post away!

    I agree with you..... It is the small things sometimes that can make a show.

    David Lange does state this though:

    Raymond and Meghrig coin album pages toned coins because the coins were put in them decades ago when the pages were new. The same result may not be achieved by repeating this action with pages that are already old.
    Just saying. image

    On a personal note... I could care less if coins tone in them or not. I just find these pages super cool in themselves.

    Im with ya on that image My last snag was a 1946 Dansco folder for Mercs unused and pristine.I know coins aren't going to tone in it but having an original folder is pretty cool.

    If I did that... This would be spam. I do not plan to sell any at this time.

    I found several of the tall W.R. albums a year ago at the Mesa, AZ. show for a song. Still have one with several boards in it for U.S. small cents. image

    Just to stir up the AT/NT discussions, is the intent to tone coins with these?
