IIRC LUNA 16 returned in 1970 with about 100g of
moon samples.

I stand corrected. Completely forgot about this mission and when I
checked the listing of "Voyages in our Solar System" by Randy Attwood in the
RASC Observers Handbook 2004, it was not mentioned. Perhaps an oversight or
it was not included as it was not considered a "first". I think it should
have been however because of the remote sampling technique used to obtain
the small sample. This should be done with MARS before lives are risked
trying to bring back samples.
