Jim, That is very cool.....I am going to try and make me one out of a three cent piece...I have very small hands you know!

Okay Mr. Valentine's Dude... if you have a ring mandrel you can try this type of ring which I think will give you a bit larger ring with a smaller coin. See this link and follow John's Link to a fantastic description of rings he makes. It was this site that promted me to try them in the first place. Our Canadian friend is also a member here on TreasureNet is makes the nicest coin rings I've seen.

EDDE: Here is also your answer to how to make the two sided rings...
