Rsxtacee Pillar of the Community United States 737 Posts	Posted 02/26/2011 03:51 am There's also a few videos on youtube to show how they're made. My girlfriend's birthday is next month so this may be a good idea. Do you size the ring by just opening it up to the size of the finger after it's beveled? Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 02/26/2011 07:27 am how we did this one was cut a hole in the middle of the coin about the size of the finger and then we used a press to bend the coin like a cup kind of shape and then slid it on something tapered and round and started working it to make it the shape of the ring. If you go to google and type in "how to make a dual sided coin ring" about the 4th link should be a .pdf file and it shows you exactly how to do it Report this Post to the Staff

lincolncentguy Pillar of the Community United States 809 Posts	Posted 02/26/2011 9:57 pm Why would you do that to a beautiful coin? Thats just wrong! Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 02/26/2011 10:29 pm it was a problem coin and that is the only reason I chose it. It was harshly cleaned on the Obverse. Still I have to say it did feel wrong when I was cutting and grinding it. I used a 1970-S Kennedy half for the other ring just because I couldn't get myself to cut up a 1970-D Report this Post to the Staff
aguynamedjoebob Valued Member United States 63 Posts	Posted 02/27/2011 02:10 am I would love to have something like this as my wedding band. Not sure how I would go about picking the right coin, or getting someone to make it. Report this Post to the Staff

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 02/28/2011 11:56 pm I was finishing it up the Morgan ring when a buddy and his friend came over to the house and his friend just had to have it and offered me 60 bucks for it, long story short I am going to have to make another one Report this Post to the Staff
Coinstar Pillar of the Community United States 1510 Posts	Posted 03/01/2011 12:25 am it looks awesome-- but the Morgan with a bullet hole in it-- that hurts.... Retired USAF 1983-2003 Edited by Coinstar 03/01/2011 12:26 am Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 03/01/2011 01:01 am I think my next one will be a 1878 if I make another one. I have quite a few VAM-83's laying around in xf-AU condition. I have to admit it was real hard when I first started drilling into it but once it was drilled I knew there was no reason to stop then Report this Post to the Staff
