The very first one I purchased was a set of the 3 1943 Steel Cents. Unc of course. I paid like 10c for them. My brother and I took them out of the packet to look at and they still have my brother's fingerprint.

 

Congrats! Thanks for the contest!!!

 

Congrats and thanks for the opportunity.

 

Hey shoewrecky speech, speech. CONGRATULATIONS!

 

I finally had time to log in and to realize that I won. I am totally in shocked and in appreciation for this. Trully I am... Never won anything like this before (which to me is like winning the lottery) and saying thanks doesnt do justice.

Thank you kindly,

Shrek

I started coin collecting in 1948 (12 years old) ... I sent for a B. Max Mehl greenish catalog advertised in a Comic Book. Along with the book order I sent a question or two to them I wanted an answer to. Along with an answer I got an offer to buy a 1909SVDB cent in XF condition for $3.50 ... I worked hard hoeing beans (1/2 mile rows) for 2 cents a row with my step-dad and saved my money all summer. I finally had enough and sent Mr. Mehl the $3.50 in cash in an envelope ... and sure enough, about 2 weeks later, I owned my first purchased coin ... a 1909SVDB cent ... my step-dad said I was totally insane. I still own that coin and wouldn't sell it for anything.

 

I know the contest is done but thought I would add my first coin anyway. I bought my first coin when I was 10 yrs old. I convinced my father to take me to the local coin shop, and I purchased a 1920-S Buffalo Nickel in G condition for $1.25 (a lot of money for a 10 yr old in 1973). I still have that coin in my collection.
