steve199 Pillar of the Community United States 1882 Posts	Posted 07/12/2010 5:29 pm Coop, to create the second type of ring, drill out the center of the coin, so it is like a washer. Slide the coin onto a tapered ring mandrel. Gently hammer downward (the mandrel is standing up vertically) using a rubber mallet around the ring. This is effectively turning the "washer" almost half-way inside out. Since the mandrel is tapered, the final bit of hammering has to happen off of the mandrel. Polish the ring, and there you have it. Hope that makes sense. Report this Post to the Staff
