NeoSpec Valued Member Canada 192 Posts	Posted 07/25/2016 03:00 am So I was cruising YouTube looking for some videos on the preparation of dies when I stumbled into this: z4pWpU3_qNw The finished ring is a fascinating piece of work, but at what cost? Sorry if this video offends anybody. * Edited by Staff to add YouTube tags. [youtube][/youtube] Please use them in the future. We prefer embedded video. * Report this Post to the Staff

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5241 Posts	Posted 07/25/2016 06:32 am In my city there is a guy who does this. I should mention that he makes a point to only pick coins with no numismatic value. He wants the coins for melt or less, in any case. A Morgan dollar ring would be suitable, physically, only for a person with very large hands. Most of his rings use much smaller coins. It is actually quite a time consuming process, taking several hours and a process of heating and bending multiple times. It is not a hobby I plan to pick up anytime soon.

JohnDeVito Valued Member United States 196 Posts	Posted 07/25/2016 09:24 am I have a Barber half dollar ring. I wear it all the time. I also have a cull Morgan (1879P) that I carry as a pocket piece. Report this Post to the Staff

NeoSpec Valued Member Canada 192 Posts	Posted 07/25/2016 9:33 pm It's surprising the level fidelity of the original stamp that the artists are able to maintain. They're actually quite nice. Report this Post to the Staff
jaxenro Pillar of the Community United States 533 Posts	Posted 07/25/2016 9:47 pm Video was too long to watch but the ring actually looks quite nice. I mean there's what, a million MS 1881-S Morgans in 61 and above out there I doubt making a few hundred into rings will seriously impact collectors. Report this Post to the Staff
