Let's take a look...
https://www.conjuringarchive.com/list/search?keyword=lapping

Scot's Discoverie has a ball vanish using the lap. (1584)
Hocus Pocus Jr's book (1634) has the lap used in the coins through table. https://www.conjuringarchive.com/list/bo......ht=70672

The Han Ping Chien coin trick (1917) uses the strategy of leaving some coins in the lap.

The efficient recovery from the lap (as servante) pretty much dates to Slydini - though again the use of a servante or shelf goes back to ancient times.
...to all the coins I've dropped here
