Last night I posted my pair of 1907 Eagles which would be a last and a first. If someone would like to post a pic of something like that that they have I think it would be interesting . As an example the the 1909 Indian cent and the 1909 Lincoln cent.

I hope you don’t mind, if I skip a year, as I don’t have a 1948 Franklin.
Sir John liked both of these.

@pocketpiececommems Have you tried to soak your 1938-D nickel in acetone to get that black crud off? I know it isn't a valuable coin, but it may be an interesting experiment.

I sold mine but somebody must have a 73 Seated dollar and a 73 Trade.
Many more examples of “overlapping” series. Capped/LS examples. 1916 dimes or quarters. The 1873 LS dollar and Trade are a bit of a stretch. 1913 nickel might be considered a three-way (albeit a stretch) as might the 1883 nickel.
I think this qualifies as last/first. 1907 was the last year for the $2 1/2 Liberty Head & 1908 was the first year for the $2 1/2 Indian:

Very nice, but I think the original idea was to show overlapping series when the two share the SAME date - as the OP illustrated with his 07 eagles.
Most people have beaten me to the punch. Here are a couple.
Already done, but.

To reiterate, the goal is to show the SAME Denomination AND the Same Year of two different designs, representing the last year of one design and the first year of the other design:
In my examples, the two coins for each qualifying pair are also from the same mint.
Here’s one pair:
Here’s another qualifying pair, unrelated to the first pair:
Edited to add. Thanks to @yosclimber ’s list below, I realized I have a newly crossed coin that apparently I had not yet added to my Registry. The following 1837 Capped Bust Dime was bought as an NGC AU58 with CAC sticker, and just crossed last week to a PCGS AU58.

There are also "minor" types, like:
There are also some single year minor types (like 1853 seated arrows and rays), but I suppose those do not count as a series.
And the cents of 1793; Chain, Wreath, and Liberty Cap.
Another minor type would be 1795 cents thick planchet/lettered edge and thin planchet/plain edge.
One might also include motto/no motto LS or composition changes like 1982 cent.
Low graded versions of both.
A first AND a last
Oh, these as well ☺️

What an amazing coin. I’m always astounded by the fact that a few of these early coins were so well preserved.
Definitely the First Proof of the series.
And maybe the Last...
@renomedphys: I absolutely love that Booby, Matt!
