You never know what you will find! I like to find old chairs to re-upholster. They are one of my favorite things to re-do. I found this chair on a local classified site I like to use. It sat in my basement for months and I finally got to it. While tearing the old fabric off I heard something hit the table. It sounded like an old coin. I love the sound of old coins. You can hear the difference of the old silver versus the metals we use today.
Sure enough, two old coins had fallen out of the chair.
One was a dime but I knew it was old by the sound it made. It was a from 1897. The other was a really old Mexican coin from 1833. Can you believe that? I did a little research and the dime is worth about $5 and the Mexican coin around $50. Not bad!
And the best part is....the chair is now cute!
