Coin Rings - rings made out of coins

LochNESS

Kinda cool to look at. I considered buying one for a moment. Everything from cents to Franklin and Peace to some Canadian bacon.

Would these qualify as "holed"?

Kinda neat.

I was wondering about the method myself. Punched? Melted? Holed? all of the above?

They punch out the center and fold outward, then put it on a lathe.

Don't know if this will inbed or not, but these are our wedding rings. Not done via the same method. Morgan dollars are too big to punch unless you have bratwurst fingers.

They are cool and I have one made from a 64 Kennedy.Bought it a couple years ago with my E-bay bucks.

We used to make them in the Navy when out at sea.... we used a spoon to round the edges and peen them over to the width we wanted. Then had the machine shop drill them out... several sailors made their wedding rings that way... Franklin halves, WLH's, Washington quarters.....Cheers, RickO

what kind of ship were you on?


I wonder if Charmy has any cent rings in her exonumia display. I see this guy has some for sale. And this guy does a good job.

I would rather see something productive like a ring made out of one than see it melted.

I have a handful of 1942 filler Walker haves with the doubled "Half Dollar" reverse, EXACTLY the part shown when a ring is made this way. I've been trying to find a ring maker who has interest in them.

I think I noticed a "how to" video on YouTube last night, on how to make these. (I didn't watch the video, but noticed it under the suggested stuff that came up on the sidebar while I was watching something else.)

PS- there was somebody here on the forums who had a contact who made these. Can't remember who it was, but I think there was a post on BST...

I make them all the time..never on a lathe..easy to turn inside out. Fun
