Basil Pillar of the Community Australia 1040 Posts	Posted 12/16/2012 9:48 pm I remember similar coins listed a few years ago as "trench art",unless I'm on the completely wrong tram they were compressed in the breech of a gun or something like that. Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 12/16/2012 10:17 pm There is at least one You Tube video that shows how make a ring out of a US silver half dollar. It is done by tapping the rim with a spoon -- apparently for hours. It doesn't seem to ruin the lettering at all. Report this Post to the Staff

Looking at the angle the florin was pressed, I could easily see that happening--you might even be able to identify the caliber or model. Report this Post to the Staff
