How to make a silver 1964 JFK Kennedy half dollar double sided coin ring 

Excellent narration and pace. Very informative and interesting. Thanks for sharing!!

If you paint that cut edge with a black magic marker, prior to sanding, then any inperfections, after sanding , really stand out.

I'm probably not telling you anything new at this point, but I've found heating the 64 JFK with a cheap harbor freight heat gun works flawlessly. Anneal often as hell, it turns a pretty gold and though I think they look better in a liver of sulfur bath it's not necessary, it has a really cool patina just from the heat gun. I personally think a reversed 64 JFK is the most beautiful ring there is (the Morgan is slowly winning me over), I've made probably a dozen 64's all with the heat gun (about 10 anneal stops each) and have never had an issue. Your videos are inspiring, so I knew to watch out for this problem on my first one (my personal PR65) and I'm very grateful for your generosity of knowledge. I've modeled my setup after yours since the hammer and mandrel (which I still use and enjoy)! Ring on Ringer!

This video really helped me!!!! I tried a couple of Kennedy's and had the splitting problem. I was deburring the edges and did not and. I was missing some of the minute scratches and that was causing the splitting. Thanks again for your great help!! Hope all is well in your world!!

Just stumbled on your channel and find what you do remarkable. I did wince where you were punching out Morgan silver dollars, I have a bunch from my grandfather so I guess I am sentimental about that coin. Keep up the great vids!

Awesome job... Beautiful ring. You do very nice work. Keep the video's coming, it's absolutely fascinating! Cheers.

Great workmanship..... Thanks for sharing that!

Would a 43 liberty silver half dollar coin need the same annealing process color and tone?

What size dies? That’s what confuses me on every coin. They have two sizes and I’m not sure which to use and when. Thank you

Could you suggest where to source coins for these projects? I’m new to this and have only worked with regular quarters but would like to take the next step. Thank you in advance.

Nice video, thanks for sharing.

Nice work. Soon as I find my size I'll PM you on CU Forum.

I envy you Be happy and be family There is nothing more precious. I know because...

friend, what product do you use to stay dark? Do you use degreaser, activator or varnish? Thank’s

Pardon a dumb question. Does using using the steel balls not mar the coin where it touches or am I missing it? I'm a newbie still trying to figure it all out.

part 14:12 it was toward the end of the video when you were sizing the ring you put it in your die it is the piece you used to press it down with your press the piece that was used between your press and die can you make one and how much

Wicked Cool man

Do you sell your rings ?

can you tell me how you changed your handle on the ring stretcher, mine seems like it might break soon, its kinda wobbly

New to your videos - just got into making coin rings - and your video are great - thank you! 1st Question - what do you use as the underpayment for the annealing process? 2nd Question - who is giving you a “thumbs-down”?! HE>I

Yes !!! excellent video like ..

Can 1974 work

Where did you find your ball bearings?

Is there a place I can buy these tools to make the rings on my own?

Skyler, how do you anneal the Kennedy 40% silver half dollar compared to the 1964 Kennedy and the clad Kennedy half dollar?

What size hole

Save punches ?

What is the round piece you placed the coin into when pressing it with the bearing? Does it come with the press or is it something you had to buy?

Is there a price difference if you ask for a specific date?

Have you made it out of modern British pound coins also about my last comment you should use modern coins

Are 61 & 62 as sensitive as the 64s....

I would like to buy such a ring how

I want one.

Hey there.... love your videos. I was just wondering what size hole you punched in it?

You do a good job at making these but I'm a coin collector and some of these coins are so rare making a ring really decreases the value

you are actually hardening the silver NOT annealing it. let it cool slowly to anneal it.

NOW you tell me. :D

can u make me one if possible

Made my first b Franklin ring today not a very good coin to make a ring out of don't like them sold it but don't like the detail 😇

👎👍 50/50 😂)))

this guy likes to hear him self

im sorry but only a idiot would do this to a 64 Kennedy what a waste of time

federal offense
