Thought I'd share this watch I found a couple weeks ago in a mucky unused area of a local beach. When I found it I could see the coin, but couldn't read the date. Thought it was silver, but no. Anyway that year, 1983, or coin meant something to someone. Ran it through electrolisis and it cleaned up some. Before pics are on the Indiana finds board if ya wanta see em. I think I'll put it in my display case just because. Thanks for looking. Kevin 100_1054.webp

Now that's something I've never seen:laughing7: I like those unusual finds. Nice find! :thumbsup:
 

Just Google for coin watches or the specific coin i.e. buffalo watch and select images.
Some watches have the coin for the face and others the back cover. Nickels, quarters, halves and foreign coins.
Really a neat and rare find.
 

That's the rare 1983 Washington quarter...


Rare because it is in a watch. :P
