Team, Here is one from an antique shop run I made today. The score included a 1955 Franklin in 62/63 condition, a 1972-S Proof Silver Dollar, a 1967 Canadian Proof Like Set w/Papers, a 1975 Postal First Day Cover w/Paul Revere Medal, this nice 1883 IHC, and a cigar box to carry it all in.  Take Care Ben   Edited by Bonedigger

Ben, just to let you know for grading, the 67 Canadian set in the pliofilm would be Proof-Like and not proof.

I like the cent and the cigar box.

Pretty cool. I wouldn't think to look in an antique shop for coins. Do you do this often? Pretty good value because antique dealers are not numismatically inclined? I just realized I don't think I have a single cigar box in the house. When I was a kid I used to collect them. The wooden ones were neat. TS

There are a couple of shops I visit periodically, every six months or so and one which will call me when anything interesting comes in. Besides getting first shot at coins, I give them an idea of what some of their (coinage) is worth. An easy tradeoff and everyone benefits. :)

Cigar boxes and coins....don't know if there's a natural connection, but I keep several boxes around to hold various things. One for loose change, which goes to the bank when it fills up. Another for the coin "collection", and a third one to store coin related stuff - receipts, old flips, cracked slabs (nice trophies), etc. I used to do a lot of woodworking and admired the quality of the Macanudo Vintage Cabinet solid Spanish cedar boxes. Cigar stores used to sell empties for $5 back in the Limbaugh/Schwarzenegger heyday, and I picked them up whenever I saw them. Sometimes I took the last couple of cigars to get a big one.
Cigar box art is a whole separate subject - the Paid in Full and Red Cloud labels are more attractive than any coin I've ever seen....
