Wayte Raymond [SEP] date of birth
Wayte Raymond
Wayte Raymond (1886–1956) was a numismatist from the United States. He authored several numismatic books and catalogs and his "Standard Catalog" was considered the premier coin guide of its time. He was inducted into the Numismatic Hall of Fame in 1969. He is perhaps best known for his "boards" or albums designed to hold sets of coin series; for example, collectors could store the complete run of Flying Eagle and Indian Cent regular issues in a single cardboard page with sliding plastic windows containing 70 slots
for each date 1857–1909 and a couple notable varieties, such as the 1858 large- and small-letter varieties. These are the inception of millions of albums produced today for collectors.
