Post your first or earliest-dated acquisition. 1 1

[Henri Charriere]

My first acquisition was a 1909-S V.D.B. BU coin, purchased from Stack's, for $200. in the mid-1960's. I am certain, having sold it since, it resides in another member's collection. Lacking it, I offer my first improvised slab holder which, while the correct width for all slabs, had a maximum capacity of 12-13 coins, or just under the 16 required for my Set Registry.  Feel free to post your very first acquisition, if available.

   I attended a family gathering in the spring of 1971, where an aunt's father gave each of the children, including me, one of the new Eisenhower dollars. I may have already had a few wheat cents taken from change, but this 1971 Eisenhower dollar is the coin that started my collection. I still have it. Here it is.
