  WAYTE RAYMOND ARTICLE
  

  An article by David Alexander on "Numismatic Laureate"
  Wayte Raymond was published in the October 2001
  issue of Coinage magazine (p80-86). The article tells the
  story of Raymond's life and numismatic career, drawing
  much from John J. Ford's obituary in the February 1957
  Numismatist, which he notes, interestingly, was "the only
  obituary ever to win the ANA's Heath Literary Award."
  

  "Through Ford, Raymond was introduced to an already
  eccentric young numismatic genius, Walter Henry Breen,
  then about 22 years of age. Raymond took the historic
  step of hiring Breen to go to the National Archives in
  Washington, D.C., and there research the total scope of
  U.S. coinage from the original documents. Breen was
  surprised to find that no one had taken this direction
  before, recalling later that he had to unseal bundles of
  papers which had not been touched since being deposited
  in the archives."
  

  "The Raymond-financed investigation of he archives was
  a revolutionary approach, and the results transformed the
  face of American numismatics."
