Not sure of you have seen the St. Gaudens Watch that Heritage is selling. If you are a gold coin collector, this may be for you. I have never seen one, but I think it is cool
Here is my Washington Quarter Variety Registry Set

Imagine doing this with one of Dan’s 1933s?
That is a tiny watch dial inside.

I bought a similar one with a 1904 $20 Lib instead of a Saint about a year ago, they aren't very expensive but they are a little cooler than your normal Corum coin watch.

What a shame that someone would ruin such a beautiful classic coin. I'll never understand some people but whatever floats your boat.

what a beautiful work of art!!
Many members on this forum that now it cannot fit in my signature. Please ask for entire list.
There appears to be damage in the fields that someone made a clumsy attempt to smooth out. Pass.

Interesting time piece.... however, I prefer the coin over the watch....Cheers, RickO
Probably cheaper than a Rolex.

I wonder if Corum would make a watch with Dan's 1933 gold obverse?
That's cool, never saw a one before !!!
I wouldn't say "ruin," most of the coins used are polished jewelry grade material. In today's market, these coins are just getting tossed in the melt bucket, this is actually saving coins if you think about it.

thats pretty neat
For the man who has everything!
Several on eBay with a search for "Corum Gold Coin Watch."
Are any of them real?

These things, or similar without the fancy mechanism, were common items in wholesale catalog stores long ago. The makers would get 2 watch faces out of each coin, plus the scooped out gold, then sell the stuff as if there were an ounce of gold, plus the rest of the watch. (In Washington we had "Capital Jewelry and Tobacco" "W. Bell & Co" and others.)
Someone submitted a 1904 Double Eagle that turned out to be a watch a couple of years ago.
No, we didn't grade it. But it was a neat thing to photograph.
