    The wearer of this ring would be in a class ALL BY THEMSELVES.

    ...but what do I know, I'm just a boy.

    Of COURSE it's ugly. They used a Morgan dollar instead of an attractive coin.
    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    Maybe the seller is a forum member who got the idea from Russ' avatar.

    I used to sell a little jewelry. You'd be surprised how many women would love to buy something huge and gawdy like that. I should have carried more ugly rings like that, would have made more money.

    Yeah, that's just gross. I would have to point and laugh at whoever I saw actually wearing it.

    Wow! that is gross. The back of the coin/ring looks like they used bondo car body filler to hold the piece of junk together. I noticed on the big fat hand model, the finger nail appears to be falling off, nice touch. Maybe she should have used some bondo on the nail as well.

    Come to think of it, that's exactly right from what I can see. They just cut out a portion of a standard ring and soldered it on the back. Didn't even bother to take out the old wings. image

    LOL. I was thinking a napkin ring, but now I see it. image

    A very horrible looking trinket to be sure. Long John Silver wouldn't even wear that on his peg leg. image
    I have all kinds of coins, tokens and a few medals. I'm not a big time Stack's Auction collector. I don't collect for investment or value. When I see a coin I think is neat, I grab it. I collect a few coins by year and mint, like Lincoln and Canadian Cents, Westward Journey Nickels, State Quarters, Presidential Dollars and 2 or 3 others. I have some Proof Sets and Uncirculated Sets. I've been collecting for 34 years, so I have a little bit of everything.

    I've seen gold dollars used for rings but a Morgan is just too freakin big for a ring (unless you're a pimp, of course).

    Considering the many many fine pieces of jewelry that the Navajo have produced, I have to wonder if this piece was a requested item. Like a special order.

    A little soap and water would do wonders as well...

    Or maybe a tall trannie like Rupaul?

    The idea of this kind of thing is to distract the other players so they make bad poker decisions.You and that ring would be their worst nightmare....image

    That's one helluva piece of bling! image

    Actually, it wouldn't be awful as a hatband or belt buckle piece, but it is hard to imagine wearing on a finger!

    Dang, what a letdown. That actually makes perfect sense, and wouldn't look so unusual. (In places like Texas or New Mexico, anyway.)
