The Widest Coin Ring Band - Mens Ring 

Hurricane Polk I know. I don’t want to spend hundreds on a hobby like this. What tools do you recommend?

Andrew Richardson go onto etsy and look at coinringusa he has nice semi cheaper tools. I have a lot of them. Also a couple named coinringtools. They have a nice punch set called the mega punch for 150 or so comes with like 5 or six dif punch sizes. Also have nice end caps for your arbor press and your hydro press to make them 100% easier to use!

@Hurricane Polk I bought a self entering coin punch and it was half the price of the Jason Ross Auto punch, now that I know I enjoy and continue to make coin rings I really wish I would have paid the extra money and got the best punch which is by far the Jason Punch. I also wanted a Dursten ring stretcher/reducer six spline, but the cost is twice the price of the stretcher/reducer four spline I bought on Amazon ... I regret not buying the Dursten. If you have a hobby that you enjoy then its a good idea to invest in it. could use a hammer and ring mandrel if just making a few rings. Just saying

Cool. The first ring I ever made was the tap out method you speak of. First couple actually. (One for my girl, one for me. my first couple ring vids I have were these rings) Then I upped my game by tapping out a half dollar, which came out way sweet. Once I figured out the fold over method, I haven't been back to the tap. I included a link to my ring shop in the description box. Thanks

Great idea! Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, I still use LOS on silver rings. The fire scale left on these clads works out great for patina look. The best I've found to seal these rings is ProtectAclear. It's a resin type liquid that you bake onto the ring, and lasts longer than anything else I've tried, but it still eventually rubs off. There's just way to much rubbing action happening on hands. A ring necklace patina ring would last much longer

Jason's Works. Same guy who does the punch

Michael Del Buono I smoked through one of those cheap ones pretty quick. Bit the bullet and got a durston. Worth every penny

The silver plugs get recycled, the clads get tossed

Meme Lord Pepe As long as you arent changing the markings to pass the coin as higher value than the coin is worth (changing the date for example) yer good. The law pertains to fraudulent intent.

So let us say if I were to sand off all the dates, faces and what not to engrave Norce Runes such as Algiz or Tyr and so on that is totally legal?

Forgot to mention this, could I then sell said coins? I watched your video if it were legal did the research but I feel it’s sll very vague.

Yes. The law pertains to "fraudulent intent" meaning yer going to manipulate the coin, the date for example, and then sell it for more money than it is really worth. Or another example would be to sand of one of Lincons ears, and claim it was a mistake made at the mint, and only a few of these coins were struck. Making them more valuable. Can your example be passed off as US currency? No. What you would be selling, is art. What ring making is doing, and what you're doing is more along the lines of removing currency from circulation. Is it against the law to throw coins into the abyss, never to be seen again? Or into a wishing well? No

Alright thank you. So based on what you tell me it is totally legal to sand off everything and then engrave because that is now art. The act of removing it from US currency and it is now art. The thing I was most worried about was engraving on it something entirely different, now I know I can sand and engrave my own touch(Norce Runes) I’m glad. If any of what I took from what you said is wrong do please tell me but I’ll begin engraving and sanding once im at that point.

Most coin ring makers don't want to mess up anything sentimental..because mistakes happen.

Liud Rosado Contact him at his shop it is in the description

Good question..his videos are the first I have watched doing coin rings..I have only been doing it for a couple of months and have recently sold 4..I mostly only do silver quarters or silver rounds..the Aztec calendar rounds look so good with the design..1/4 and 1/2 oz come out great.

@@billholb1974 Hes alive and well. He responded to one of my comments here a few weeks back. He has a new job and is focused on that but did say he will be making a new video of some sort in the future! Hopefully soon! Ive been enjoying his cooking vids recently and would be cool to see a day in the life vid too. We have to keep bugging him to make it happen lol!

Absolutely. Get a hold of me over at my shop. Link in the description

Yeah, I was at the end of an anneal cycle and wanted to keep an eye on that edge in case she wanted to start splitting. Once softened up again, hole side down

To maximize the width of the ring band. Smaller the hole, the wider your band will be
