Coin Ring

[trainermick]

Here is my first attempt at making a double sided coin ring where the writing is both inside and outside of the ring. This one is made from a Canadian large cent. I'm going to keep practicing on large cents (I have over 200 of them) before I move on to silver coins.

I like it! Is it conical though? Or is that an optical illusion?

Not as conical as it looks in the pic. I was using a rubber hammer instead of a plastic one and probably could have shaped it a bit better. I understand the concept but still experimenting. The raised edge with the ridges is a little thicker so a little more difficult to form. I also should have heated it first to make the hammering easier. Silver coins should look at lot better.

Looks very nice. You did a great job.

Is it Winter already in S ON? You need a site I think!

Cleaned out the local beaches, now just waiting for the fields to be turned over and the beans taken off. Then it's 1812 relics here we come.
