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.

My minting year was 1945....
Wish her a Happy Birthday for me!

Nice gift, is it a graded coin?

# 1. Do not upset your mother or there will be Hell to be pay.

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
