American as American can get.
The 2 1/5, 5, 10 and $20 are decently large, the $1 is tiny compared to those...just a hair past 1/2 inch.
"The gold dollar (1849–89) was a tiny coin measuring only 13 mm making it difficult to grasp and easy to lose, a serious problem when a dollar was almost a day's wage."

It would be nice to find a 20 cent piece.

Probably not going to have much of a chance finding a steel penny in the ground, they come out as an unrecognizable piece of heavy rust

Since I got the gold coin off the list I'd say a Spanish gold from the 1700's. If I find one of those I know where the part of the fleet people are guessing where they sank will maybe be not where they think they sank. Make sense?

All I got was gold coin...me too.

I would have to say a silver 3 center or 20 cent piece would be one of the coins that I haven't found.
A trade dollar would be sweet too.

Over 5 years at it and I can't find a darn V Nickel ... got a Shield nickel, but that V is playing hide and seek, and so far it is STILL winning the game.... someday!
I actually got the V nick the following weekend, guess my whining helped...lol
