Found A Wheat Cent Today And Turned It Into A Ring........

[John-Edmonton]

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.

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....

It took a little over an hour to make that ring. I have made hundreds........

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.
