Spent most of the day hunting soccer fields. Most of them turned out to be duds. I did much better in baseball fields searching the outfields. My best find was a 1944 Wheat cent which I turned into a ring.....if you can't find one, you make one. :icon_scratch:

Now that takes a lot of work with copper being harder to work than the silver coins we used to make into rings by pounding them with a heavy spoon. I never found any copper rings.......

How did you make the ring. Any special tools..Have you ever made a guitar pick from a quarter..I have hundreds of wheaties and other coins and would like to learn how to make things like that to give to others as keepsakes....

Those are soooo coool! How did you make them?

Email Western & Eastern Treasures Magazine, and ask them for a copy of the article "COIN RING CRAFTING." It has step by step instructions. I think there is a small fee.
