OK, here is one - the first (and only) year of the 1861 Paquet Reverse $20 Double Eagle:

And for comparison, here is a link to a thread that includes photos of my 1850 Double Eagle that may have actually been one of, if not the first one minted as it has been related back to having been in the personal collection of its designer James B. Longacre:

As a type collector, I have a number of "firsts." Here are three of my favorites.

Woke up two hours before going work and consulted a wily, old veteran (who was also a dear friend), on this one, to ensure that it was mine....Those were the days, my friends. Strike and originality are on POINT!

I took one of those to a meeting of non coin collectors. They thought it was pretty cool to see for the first time the first, first as you put it.

Equally attention getting was the inscription on the coin, "Mind your [own] business."

The 'Mind your (own) business' needs to be reinstated on all coins in this BS 'woke' insanity. It just may help.
