There was a video I saw about a hobo cent. It was a long process, but a great view of how this is done. I didn't have a clue:

I tried to find the post where we talked about it a while back, but didn't find it.

Sorry, I had the wrong one. This is the one that I enjoyed. The same guy did both of them. The one now above is the best one. Sorry.
Rest in Peace

There are many folks doing this individually, and even utilizing CDC produced matching "dies" to stamp massive amounts in a short time. The real "Hobo, now there is Americana, this new stuff pales IMHO!...but some is too cutsie to pass up!Hobo-Cents.-How-They-Are-Made.

Thanks @coop for posting this. Very interesting watching him chase the metal. The results kinda remind me of JSG Boggs, just not in paper.

I saw another video of making coin rings, it was very interesting also, but so far I haven't found it yet. (there are many more on youtube, but I enjoyed the way the presenter did for the coin rings) I would never buy one. Keep in mind how a coin wears, they would wear even faster as the rim is removed from the rings. It would eventually be a plain silver ring.
