The Ford Connecticut Collection Boards. These are the Wayte Raymond card boards that housed the collection in F.C.C. Boyd's day. Each board contains 10 round coin sized cut-outs arranged in two rows of five, each with four cellophane slides that serve to retain the coins in their cut-outs. Each board was annotated by Boyd with the attribution numbers of the varieties it contained. Some of the attributions are in Breen's hand, some in the cataloguer's. There are almost no other notations on the boards. There are 14 boards for the 1785 Connecticuts, 14 for the 1785's, 61 for the 1787's, and 11 boards for the 1788's. There is also one board which housed the counterstamped 1787 31.2-r.3 in the collection and the handful of 1787 and 1788 counterfeit George III coppers also offered above. A unique record of a landmark collection. 72 pieces.
