My first was an 1838 O Seated dime that I found in change at our family store in 1956 or '57; obviously a coin pilfered from some collection but a nice example at VF. My last was a 1957 Roosevelt dime I got in change at the neighborhood grocery store a few days ago. afernbaugh |

Oh man. My first coins (plural!) were a handful of Morgan dollars that my grandmother gave to me when I was just a boy. My most recent coin acquisition was a 1921 Peace AU58. |

My first memorable coin is an 1857-O Seated dime that my grandfather gave to me when I was probably 8 or so (circa 1972). It is still in my 7070. My last coin was a nice 1945-D Lincoln Cent that I got yesterday in a trade from another member here! Ken |

Probably common Mercury dimes as a little kid, ironic that I own very few of them today. ( edit: I just remembered my first coin that I remember wanting and still have is actually not a coin but a lead cast counterfeit 1927 SLQ that my grandfather made during the depression. I inherted it from my Dad.) My most recent coins purchased were two BU Jefferson nickels with steps, a 1952 S and a 1953 S. Edited by TNG

My first were a few Spanish 5 peseta coins that my father gave me. The first coin that truly became part of my collection was a 1942 Wheat cent that I found on the ground. This coin was what started it all. My most recent acquisition is an 1806 Mexican 8R in VF (chops). |

My first coin was an 1854 Seated quarter that I got from the tooth fairy for my first front tooth I lost as a kid. Turns out it was the same quarter my dad got for his first lost front tooth so I ended up giving it to my son when he lost his. He still has it, no kids for him yet. My most recent was a 1957 Franklin I got in change at the local bagel shop last week, they set "odd coins" aside for me whenever they get one. Not a bad deal, gave them $4.25 for a cup of coffee, a bagel and a silver half worth $4. |
