My first official coin purchase!

[GoldieLocks]

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.

Good fun!

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

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
