    might as well hammer out some 90% rings. made my wedding bad out of walking liberty halve, at the time it cost me $4.25 for my wedding band. Another nice one Ive picked up recently is a Mexico half ounce silver libertad with a mount attached for a key chain.

    We used to make those half dollar rings out at sea when I was in the Navy. Guys would use a spoon and be tapping away whenever we had some free time. Cheers, RickO

    I've heard of this for years. I'd love to see it done. Anybody have a video?
    I'm at work without time to look around.

    I really like those type of rings. I bought a similar 1942 Canadian 50 cent piece turned into a ring the other day. Same style with the design on the inside and out, no break in the rim. Mine was also artificially darkened/toned to help highlight the design with some contrast, looks quite nice IMO!

    Yeah, I really want to learn how to do the ring. The linky had a problem. Do you have another address?

    I figured it was drilling out the center and tapping into shape?

    thanks.

    ps I made a few more chains using merc's.

    After ring is done,dip in "Liver of Sulfer" a few minutes, then buff the high points.....heated Lof S and 2 other ingredients will tone silver dollars :-)
