<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tamaracian, post: 8079931, member: 23122&quot;]If you&#039;re partial to using a Pocket Watch, you could shop for a Pocket Watch Fob Chain--with or without the Watch--and order a 14-K Mount for it to fit the 25 mm diameter; the combination would be a nice conversation piece while also repurposing the ex-jewelry coin (while hopefully, by trends, the spot price keeps on increasing).&nbsp; Also, if you do wear it on a Vest, or carry it around in your pocket (with the Chain attached to a Belt Loop for security), the coin will, over time start to pick up a patina from contact with your hand or other items, and the protected areas will begin to tone as is evidenced on many original coins of that age.</p><p><br /></p><p>The attached Image is representative of what I&#039;m referring to; I purchased this from Great Collections back in 2012.&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]1402876[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin, an 1834 Half Eagle, had quite a bit of wear (about EF-30) but looked good because of the &quot;crust&quot; (i.e. patina) it had developed over the years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
