Why I Destroyed a Super Rare Carson City Morgan Dollar 

Definitely not a fan of purposely using rare coins to do this, but thanks for driving the value up. Will be picking another one up in this date.

You gonna get so much hate mail on making that CC. Lol .... beautiful as always wow.... amazing!!

The most expensive antique coin that i made into a ring for someone was $70. I've seen some extremely costly ones at coin shows. I still feel a little bad when taking them out of collectors circulation like that but enjoy when someone appreciates what it is made out of. I don't have as much time for my etsy shop and self promotion as i used to. I've been focusing on privately minted coins with unique designs. My A.D.D keeps me from sticking with one art form for too long as well as switching my major a ton in art school so i am a jack of all trades. I love your videos and am trying to find the energy and time to make videos of my own of all the unique functional and decorative creations that come forth.

I have just made my first Morgan. Definitely nerve racking the first time and nowhere near a Carson City coin. It turned out nice and it is very rewarding. Working on my second one now. I have taught myself through your videos. Thank you for explaining in great detail and thank you for the great camera work. You keep everything simple. Great Job!

I'll buy that for a dollar

I love your rings... But to destroy a CC is too much I think. Just the opinion of a fellow Oregonian

How to lose 95% of the value of your coin

Damn i wish i had tools like that, great job as always.👌🏻

You clearly have a lot of skill and talent. I enjoyed watching your process, very well done video! As a coin collector, not a fan transforming a CC Morgan into a ring but at least you used and easier date CC. I suppose your rings will decrease the survival numbers for the coins, so I guess that is good in a way. The website looks great- you have a lot of nice items!

This video made me feel physically sick and I had to stop watching it. It was like seeing something being killed.

If you can't see the cc you could have used ANY UNC. Morgan worth $50 and not $500 like a cc .

Since almost a million of the '82s were in GSA holders, it's not the rare coin you think. Unless of course it's the VAM 2D. $325 for a regular GSa or $1,500 for the VAM 2D..... should have looked.

WOW!!! man i dont think i can afford the CC lmao but cant wait to make a Morgan ring!!! love watching your vids!!

Omg. I need one!!! I don’t know how my coin club will feel about it. Lol

I am a coin ring maker myself and wondering when this will show up. And you did it so that I don’t need to do it. Lol. Well done and that cc coin will be enjoyed as a ring more than its siblings.

Beautiful but ouch 😳

Like 5 as Always Perfect and Very Coool, Thank You

Nice job 👍👍👍

Thanks for the video 👍

Nice piece of art work

How dare you make that coin into a ring 😂🤣😂. Looks awesome man. So now it should be worth millions because it's the only Carson City that's ever been turned into a ring ever....lol.

Oh boy you upset a big die hard community with this hahahah. Even though I knew what was coming, just seeing you crack it open and put your thumb on the face of the coin hurt.

Excellent piece.Thank you.

This is awesome! Great job 👏🏿

I totally get it! It is just a coin. Two little c’s make it valuable to those who are willing to pay that price for a CC. But in the end, it is still just a piece of metal. Great work!!!

What size is the ring? And it's dimensions?

Can I order these coin rings from Bangladesh?

Why use a GSA Carson City when you could have bought another CC much cheaper?

Dude what a horrible decision! That is sacrilege!!!!!!!!

Is the “Comstock Load” related to the other RU-vidr, who has a channel about owning a mining ghost town?

I’d rather enjoy the ring than it’s pre coin form ! Thanks for showing Would you ever sell one of these?

I'm a CC Morgan Collector it made Me sad for about 2 mins Now I want that Ring :) I will be ordering a Ring from you I just Love them.

Cried a little bit inside when the case cracked and the hole got punched. The ring is beautiful. I don't know why it seems using a less rare Morgan would not make me cry as much.

I know of some buried treasure on my families land. I've heard stories since I was a child. I'm betting it's only worth a few hundred of old silver coins that was buried almost 100 years ago. I'm going to have a ring made out of one of those coins!

That coin is super beautiful!

I have 6 CC GSAs

1.1 million mintage on the 1882 CC. I think you should go large and buy 500, 000 or more of these 1882 CC's. Make them all into rings. That would leave the otherwise small population even smaller, thus rarity would logically go up, and remain coins would skyrocket in price.

Damn near any coin…but a GSA Morgan.

You are a talented craftsman, but not educated on CC Morgans. You could have bought a non GSA, ungraded CC Morgan, same year/condition and made the same ring for less. Once you removed it from the GSA packaging, that is exactly what you had. The good thing is that is a common year, the bad thing is you could have paid one to two hundred less for a raw 1884 cc Morgan, made the exact same coin, and passed the savings to the buyer. But it is a beautiful ring, no doubt!

I believe it’s worth it ! It’s now a work of at to display !

Ugg . Unless u have a buyer lined up you killed the value . Turned a $450+ dollar coin into 50 bucks . Man that hurt when you punched a hole in it . But it just makes my 1882 cc more valuable .

can you make rings out of the 5 mark coin =3

Wow!

Could have used 1921 Morgan instead or sell this coin for $300+ and get 10 1921 Morgans to make extra 9 rings LOL well, it’s your coin, do whatever you want.

That's sickening to watch. Even for a low key coin collector, who never spent more than 100$ on a coin.

Gorgeous.

I mean, you could have used an uncirculated one? This video both hurt me and was extremely enjoyable. I dont know what to think of it, either way great work making the ring man.

You replied to another comment and said "it's always interesting to see how perceived value affects emotions", and that "perceived value is really the key here." No... That's not perceived value. Perceived value would be me thinking my Morgan's are priceless because they came from my grandfather. My subjective perception. Or you believing this Morgan "looks better this way." Your subjective perception. Actual value is based upon the objective facts of the product. In this case mintage, grade, demand, history, and so on. But it's your coin, do what you want with it. If you don’t care, no one else should. At any rate, the real key here is semantics and it appears your grasp on them is weak.

Omg tell me you left the CC Privy marks on the ring 😬

That was cringe worthy! But in the end it will make someone happy on their finger. That turned out really nice 👍

Beautiful

Wow that Is so cool good job

The haters I can hear them right now!!!!

I’m sorry, man you shouldn’t do that to an uncirculated Carson City dollar or any one of them for that matter. I know they look nice and they’re cool but destroying history and some sort of way.

Brilliant ring, absolutely love it!

I was really hoping that you fat tired it. That looks good.

Oh man, why didn’t you just use a common date 1921 Morgan Dollar?

That’s amazing 😎 looks badass keep up the awesome work

Wasn't worth it. What a travesty!

Wtf were u thinking ..well to each his own I guess butbya probably wasted 500 or better hope that ring will sell or hope ubenjoy bc if not BRO WHAT ARE U THINKING

Great ring. I felt nothing when you punched the hole. I think I'm desensitized to this sort of thing now after 'improving' on some valuable coins myself.

You are now not permitted on my channel.

Stupid mistake, BU coin worth much more than ring

What the hell dude !!!! Not a C,C .

But why?😅

Wow this is terrible you made that beautiful rare coin worthless

Love the look on that ring 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

Bro, Skaylar.....WHY???!!. I know how great of a jewler you are and you make a great end product but. WHY? You end up with basically the same result as any other coin ring or chunk of silver, it just has two tiny c's

Should be illegal .

can not watch this

Wow I’m done here not following no more

You make great great rings and are very skilled. Thanks for sharing the video

😬😬😬

Not rare,and what a waste of a beautiful coin

Not cool!

How to take $800 and make it worth $30 in 6 minutes on you tube for 300 likes. Some of those go for thousands man. Not worth it at all. IMO.

Keep destroying these coins and it is just going to make other GSA Morgans even more valuable.

Criminal what you are doing to those coins. Have some respect you damn fool.

People here say Jippi, BUT I`m NOT. You could have used another coin. These are the last US Morgan Dollars. It is the history of USA & The whole world for that matter. I don`t mind taking coins to make rings BUT you should stay away from the realy rare once. An Artist? Yes, but this was destruction, not art. SAD! To The People out there. Your have your opinion. THIS is MY opinion.

yikes dude. ruining historic coins isnt the way to more views.....be more creative instead of destructive and your views will grow once again.

I can't watch this,it's blasphemous!

It is illegal to deface United states currency.

What a waste. Not a fan and won't watch another one from this guy.

What the hell?!! There aren’t many of those and you destroy it?! Why would you do that? If I was subbed to you I would unsubscribe.

No I am good I am seriously good. Avid coin collector here 🫣
