Gotta pay very close attention when tapping the sides or she folds on you.

I tried using what tools and supplies I had,,,,it took me a few hours total but was a test piece and didnt come out too bad...an hoping to prefect it on the 2nd try..... does anyone know all the different methods of making the coin rings such as the details on the outside of the ring?
Cool - I have a couple older ones and I always wondered how they made them. I would like to try to make one but my artistic ability is nil and my patience is a close second
Thanks but I prefer the way the guy on ebay does it..Completely different than what has been shown here and different then the sailors made...completely different construction and look.

I wonder how that ring is made. I prefer it also, but I have been searching google and cannot find out how.
I have no idea, but I emailed the guy on ebay last week and asked if he made these rings to order. He sure does. I sent him a 1976 40% silver Kennedy bicentennial half last week. He had it finished and back to me in 3 days. It looks unbelievable! I dont know how he does it. It only cost me $30 bucks, too. I will post pictures later. I am impresed with this guy. He is real nice and professional.
The only problem is that the copper in the coin eventually turns your finger a little black under the ring. It washes awy easily. Is there any way to stop copper from oxidizing?

BUT
what I want to know is how this gentleman makes these.
EBAY ITEM #140175349607 sorry don't know the linky thing yet.
he somehow bends the whole side over, if you look closley the whole side of a coin is either on the inside
or the outside.
The dentils are on one edge and the hole he drilled is on the other edge.
ring
before drilling
pre-drill

I just have to flip my silver coins to make them ring. It only takes a second.
So far it's truly below melt. LOL

I'll see if I can find the thing. I made it from a dime for a pinky ring for my wife.
