Interesting, yes! An Ike dollar watch would be fun. |

I have to believe it was treated or "preserved" first?  |

I would assume, if it was made by and for the RCM, that it wasn't an actual 1 cent coin used, but a lookalike. This would also explain the absence of a date. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

The date though isn't the issue, cause "coin" may resemble 1952-2002 penny, where the date is on the obverse. But the colour is off, and most important - the penny is very small coin - put it on the wrist, and you'll see, how small the watch will be, would it have real 1c coin inside. I do not think, such small size is realistic for modern unisex watch.

You have this watch in-hand, you can compare it with a real penny.
