All I can think is that because they’re gold coins, like gold jewelry, finger sweat and oil won’t degrade the finish like silver. That was the whole purpose of minting gold coins, and keeping gold coins. I don’t know if the packaging adds any value to the treasure. Typically my luck, the only treasure I would find in an antique piano is a petrified rodent who made a nest using the felt.

Never found anything like that in my old upright pianos I've tinkered with, but have found a few old coins, pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters. Found a lot of bobbi-pins, paper clips, and a few razor blades, tooth picks, candy wrappers, and a few other common items. But never any gold coins. Guess I just haven't come across the right piano yet. :-) Rick Piano enthusiast and amateur musician: "Treat others the way you would like to be treated". Yamaha C7. YouTube Channel
