<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TC2007, post: 599595, member: 9248&quot;]<b>My first purchase.....</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Was when I was around 13 years old, and working on my coin collecting merit badge in Boy Scouts.&nbsp; I was able to find all the 1958&#039;s in circulation except for thr Franklin.&nbsp; So, saved my money for a few months, walked over to Malden to the only coin store I ever saw, and bought a pretty well worn Frankie.&nbsp; I went home and assembled my first official collection.&nbsp; I proceeded to <i>tape </i>each coin to a piece of construction paper, and mounted them in an inexpensive frame.&nbsp; I proudly brought my creation to my merit badge meeting, and was awarded my badge.&nbsp; And, I still have the collection, all taped to the original construction paper.&nbsp; It is one of my most prized possessions.&nbsp; Thanks for the contest![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
