Hammered Coin Ring?

I located this ring in an older yard this morning. It has a "hammered" appearance with no markings inside the band. However, upon close inspection inside the band I may have located the remnants of a letter (E or F??). Might this be a ring created from tapping on a silver coin?

    Why it certainly might be. Watch some how to make a coin ring videos on the YouTube. Peace Roy

    There is more of the letter visible than what the photograph shows. It appears to be the "E or F" on a Franklin half dollar.

    I have never seen that type of coin ring.... However, that does not mean it is not made from a coin...Interesting. Cheers, RickO

    Mastery of the spoon attack can shape and shift that silver around. Peace Roy
