coin ring

[malenkai]

Found my first coin ring yesterday (that is, a coin hammered into a ring). This one was made from a dateless SLQ, when reading the inside, you can see the stars after the word "QUARTER DOLLAR". In this shot, you can see the word "LIBERTY" on the one side, and "QUARTER DOLLAR" on the other side, if you look hard enough.



Also found a 1934 silver quarter nearby, which I managed to nail pretty good with my digger. That still happens sometimes, good thing it wasn't a valuable coin.



HH everyone.

Cool finds don't worry about the quarter in my opinion if you were going to hit one I'd rather the quarter than the ring

The art and craft of making rings from coins is very popular right now. A lot of people are trying their hand at it; consequently, I would expect an increased number will start showing up - and they will be among the surface items and zip-tabs.

Yup, I just found one myself. Too bad it's made from a 2015 clad quarter!

The vast majority of modern coin ring makers are not using this method to make their rings - They discovered that it was much less labor to make a washer , put it over a mandrill and start knocking it over , than to turn the coin a billion times on an anvil under a hammer "upsetting the edge until the desired reduced diameter is achieved to accommodate the ring size- and last sawing the center out to size..
