In front of you is a small storage room, which is also booby trapped. Shoot the trip wire explosives, and get the coin from a drawer in the green desk.

Antique Coin 14 can be found after you encounter a fat man molded in the "barn fight." After entering a room in TESTING AREA 2F with a button to release the stairs back down to 1F, search for some mounted chest-high shelves. In the corner of one shelf is the coin.

Antique Coin 17 is in the WRECKED SHIP 3F in a locked red box. Due to your new inventory, you will need to search for a new set of lockpicks. Find the lockpick from 2F: at the northern side of the map opposite the stairwell door is a door to a small side-room near the bunk rooms. Climb up the ladder in here for some ammo and a box with the lockpick.
