If you were to find a coin in old furniture what type of coin would you like to find?
Mine would be a nice shield nickel with rays

With my luck, I would find a zinc cent in George Washington’s desk.

An auctioneer friend of mine found a toned 1876 seated quarter in an old desk about 20 years ago. I sent it to PCGS and it came back MS62.
When we moved into our house 18 years ago the sellers left and old upright piano in the basement. When the movers brought it up from the basement an 1893 Liberty 5c dropped out.

Not in furniture, but I did find 8 or so Kennedy halves in a used dryer once.
2001-D Zincoln with just a hint of corrosion.
I lost a 1916 Matte Proof Lincoln. It was moose of a coin... really with it would turn up
A 1794 dollar would be nice to find
Collector, occasional seller
Bad choice. The government will confiscate it if it knows you have it.
I would like an 1802 half dime. I have collected the early dates since the mid 1970s, and that’s the one I can’t get.
1869cc Morgan.
