  Too long ago to remember the first (probably a Morgan for 1st communion). First memorable coins were 7 Mercury dimes given to me by a customer on my paper route. She gave them in a Whitman folder. I took over the route just after Thanksgiving and the Mercs were a Christmas tip. The folder was replaced but I still have the coins.

  I can't answer your question. I'm too stoned from looking at that graphic.

  I have no idea what the first one given to me was. But it may still be around somewhere.

  I was given a 1928 quarter eagle as my first coin. My grandfather gave it to my dad and he gave it to me.
  I still have it, of course and I grade it a solid MS70+ for sentimental reasons.

  Mercury. No (sold it as a kid).
  
  P.S. As to the graphic, "When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's a MOIRE!"
