Franklin ring.

Saw this on fleaBay a while back and had to get it. 1958 is my birth year, so that's a nice added touch.

You'll see the top of Ben's head to the right of LIBERTY.

Here's Ben's face and the date. The bottom part of his bust is under the date.

You can see the bell clanger under the D in DOLLAR.

Thanks guys, glad you like it!

Yes, I have worn it. It is a little large, but it does fit, so every now and then I'll wear it to some coin related event.

Is that the clanger or the clapper?

I like these, and I like yours.

I like coin rings and have made a few myself from badly cleaned quarters,halfs and dollars.

that looks pretty good. i like it as well

I like to also, however, the dentils seem to have been artificially indented. They don't need to look like that.

I make these coin rings myself. It is a fun hobby. Not me, but this is a good video "How to"

I also make origami stars with $1.oo bills. Great for Christmas Gifts. Not me, but here is" How to do it !"

Very cool item.

That kinda pegs out the cool meter.

We used to make rings with Silver Kennedy Halves and a Tablespoon. A hell of a lot more time consuming.

We made them with spoons in the Navy.... passed some long hours at sea...Cheers, RickO

My wife and I decided to have Franklins made from our birth years for our wedding bands....There are a few people that make these and they sell on ebay....
