I strayed into my first coin shop yesterday. And got a neat idea. I went in eBay and brought a 1940 silver dime to send to my mother who is turning 79. I can joke that it was a very good minting year.
My first official coin purchase!

They celebrated my mint year by changing from the wheat reverse to the Lincoln Memorial on the Cants.

Wow that makes me dizzy!
Here's my first coin purchase. I got it in 1964 at the Miami coin show. I paid $5 for it. I was 10 yrs. old. Gary
