Post your First Coin Ever

Many people don't even remember what their first coin was!

 

I may have it in an old Lincoln Cent folder, but that was from so many years (and hair folicles) ago, that I don't remember which one it was!!

I remember the first coin that I bought in 1957. I won some money playing pool and the kid that lost paid me with four - one dollar bills and one silver dollar. I went to our bank and asked the teller if she had any silver dollars like the one I had. She put a bunch of them on the counter and I picked out four more, but the one that first caught my eye was the one with the same date as my grandmother's birthday. It was an 1893-CC Morgan and it cost me one buck.

I can tell you the first toner that I bought, it isn't currently imaged, but I'll try and get it imaged in the not too distant future. It was a MS66FB 1944-D Mercury... bought it sometime in the late '80's.
