Thrift shop shopping WDUBT

I (generally) do my thrifting from online auctions and, once every two years or so, I trip and fall into a gold cocktail watch (the key is don't chase the high, you'll give it all back to the house). In my grubby hands for $120 (all shipping, fees and taxes).

This was part of a lot with costume necklaces; in the original box and with signed band and buckle. Poorly photographed and without a clearly visible "#K" on the case back; but all the markers were saying "solid gold" including a little blurry hallmark near the crown.

The 18k case that has since gone on to top up the watch fund. If anyone needs a sweetly running AS1012 or a Borel band/buckle/case, free to a good home.

Happy hunting!

Picked this up a couple of days ago.
Not really into old coins though I do have quite a large stash of Silver ones from my own countries coins.
this one intrigued me because of 2 things 1: the date is 1928 and the same date as my Vintage Austin car and I just can't seem to resist anything from that date period 2: this is the first year of mintage for this coin.
I didn't pay the sticker price as a search on AI indicated a lower price range for a circulated coin so I pointed that out and asked for a substantial discount and got it.
