wildflowerAB Pillar of the Community Canada 2845 Posts	Posted 09/01/2016 11:39 pm I'm from Alberta too but had never noticed these ebay listings until now. In my opinion it's a unique way to promote interest in coinage. Report this Post to the Staff

I'd guess harder. Report this Post to the Staff
Libertad Pillar of the Community Canada 3692 Posts	Posted 09/23/2016 8:19 pm That guy should plate those coins with a precious metal. Copper will turn your fingers into nasty colors. Amazing coin ring, though, not to downplay it, just a critique. Report this Post to the Staff

Copper is about the same in malleability as sterling silver. Silver is softer than copper but is not ideal for jewellery or pragmatic items since it is soft, hence the alloys (90-93.5% is good enough, but they tarnish). There is no perfect metal.

Thinking back, just handling pennies at a till was enough to do it. Perhaps it might be sealed with a clear coat that adheres to metal. And I do agree, the large cent makes a very beautiful and unique ring. Report this Post to the Staff
