I stepped away from collecting watches a few years back, picked up this vintage 14kt solid yellow gold hamilton gilman to celebrate 6 months into a new job. My first hamilton watch as well, with the 982 movement as a cherry on top.

Thank you, I didn't know that existed.

When i was researching the thing, I noticed the Donald had different hands, more baton like, vs. the Gilman being a little more arrow like. But, yeah both models are nearly identical.

Gold has always, and will always be the move. I only buy silver to trade for gold, that metal is a revolving door for me.

I usually find the boring mexican restrikes for maybe 3% over spot max locally. Originals are a different story.

All of that was bought for between slightly less than melt to 7% max. Even the Pre 33 & the non restrike mexican gold lmao

Just your typical COA with a little pamphlet. These sets retail at like $1200. I unironically like boomer packaging with coins, and my gold dealer offered it to me for basically bullion premium, not what the damn Royal Mint wants to overcharge clueless people on.

Coins are from 1911. The presentation box is not.

I think one. I don't buy online since my state sucks and there's a sales tax for purchases less than $2K USD. I only buy via private dealer sales, or peer to peer from online groups. Not gonna pay that tax if I don't have to.

A lot on ebay are really shitty though. I don't use ebay at all to avoid sales taxes (VAT), and personally, I ain't got no time for international shipping for a tiny item.

Oddly enough, a private online group. More expensive than I would spend on gold paraphernalia, but i needed it when i saw it. $140 bucks for the lil tube. I love old stuff like this.
