Libertad Pillar of the Community Canada 3692 Posts	Posted 12/29/2011 3:58 pm This is my opinion: Using coins as templates for jewelry is very uninspired. There's a guy on Etsy who only makes pendants out of rings. Again, so uninspiring. They're nice but basically ripped-off designs. They all look alike. Report this Post to the Staff

Cajunlady0 Valued Member United States 318 Posts	Posted 01/01/2012 09:56 am I say "go for it". You bought the coin with the intent to make a ring. Then do it. The alternative is for you to put it away with the rest of your coins barely to be handled again. This coin will not be lonely if you wear it. You will get more enjoyment out of it this way. Do send a pic when done with it. Edited by Cajunlady0 01/01/2012 09:57 am Report this Post to the Staff
wheatiefan Pillar of the Community United States 507 Posts	Posted 01/01/2012 10:28 pm I think it's a nice enough coin to keep unmolested. With a little searching you can find a coin that is damaged and truly "junk". Maybe one with scratches / gouges. You should be able to find one for spot value or less ($10-14). It looks like all you need is for the margins to be acceptable in the first place, since you destroy the rest of the coin. Either way show us what you end up with, -wheatiefan Edited by wheatiefan 01/01/2012 10:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 01/02/2012 11:27 am I made one out of a 1970 half dollar (since that was the year I was born) but I didn't polish the outside of the ring, I have the date, in God we trust, and LIBERTY showing on the outside. On the inside you can read United States Of America and Half Dollar. I also made my daughter one out of a 2000 Sacagawea dollar but she is 11 and has small hands, there is no way it would fit my hands Report this Post to the Staff
