<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robinjojo, post: 8213370, member: 110226&quot;]My very first coin purchased was a Morgan dollar, at a coin shop in Dearborn, Michigan back in the mid-70s.&nbsp; That coin is long gone, so I cannot provide my very first coin.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As far as ancient coins are concerned, my first one was a tetradrachm of Alexander III, Salamis Mint, acquired around 1980 or 1981 at a coin show.&nbsp; That coin also has long departed these shores. So many of my early acquisitions were sold over the years that I am hard pressed to think of the earliest ancient still hanging out.&nbsp; Ditto for my world coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess I&#039;ll fall back to the owl from Harlan Berk, purchased around 1985. This coin was part of a hoard that hit the market at that time.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1441469[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As far as my most recent (last) coin purchased, in terms of chronology ordered, I guess it is this one, another owl that I posted earlier today.&nbsp; I think the image quality has somewhat improved since the above photo, taken in May 2020.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1441472[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The last auction lot won was this one, from Roma&#039;s E-Sale 93 (January 2022):</p><p><br /></p><p>Sweden, 1716</p><p>1/2 dalder copper plate money</p><p>Avesta mint, 1716. </p><p>Denomination and S•M within diamond stamped in centre; four circular stamps, one at each corner, with crowned monogram and date. </p><p>KM PM 32; AAH 195; BT D2. </p><p><br /></p><p>371.51g, 98mm x 100mm.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1441473[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
