Too Much Snow, No Ring Finds, So I Made Some Coin-Rings & Smoke Rings

[John-Edmonton]

Headed home after work, and after another 10" of snow during the last 24 hours, I stayed home and made a smoke-snack. Actually, I have a buddy who sells jerky and sausage at the farmers market on Saturdays, so I smoked up some apples and eggs for him to try and see if he might want to sell them too. The apples are a real treat!

Because I was housebound, I thought I would make some more coin rings. One (barber dime) was made with the coin information on the inside and outside. The other three (a half, a quarter and war nickel) were made with all the information only on the inside, so they look like silver wedding bands.

Here are the rings after a nice polish.


Below is a simple math question......

Seeing your coin rings NEVER gets old John, such beautiful craftsmenship. They could easily fool anyone for a more expensive piece. The presentation and the pics are really good quality and nice and close up as well.
Basically, kudos there Johnny, you know what the hells goin' on and I'm prouda ya.

It took about 7 hours to make all four. Here's my article I wrote in 2005 for Western and Eastern Treasures.
