Made my little girl a coin ring

[BeJay]

Used a Murcury dime(90% silver) to make a ring for my little princess. I drilled a hole in the center and mounted the dime on a bolt. I rotated it while tapping the edge with a hammer until it was wide enough and about the size I was aiming for. I put the bolt on a drill and sanded with 600 and 1000 grit sand paper. The hole was drilled out larger and I ground the center out with a dremel. Sanded the inside and polished everything with emery and green rouge with the dremel. It's a little loose on her middle finger(just what I was aiming for) so she can grow into it. Turned out great and my little girl loves it.

That is most intriguing. I'm impressed.

I saw how to do this on YouTube. Very cool!

Great idea for your little girl. It will always be a treasure coming from Dad.

Very nice. I have been wanting to try that. The idea of turning a coin inside out without breaking it seems interesting.

I've got two little girls who will love having one of those. Thanks for that!

I remember my Dad telling of soldiers making rings from 1/2 dollars. I was never sure how they got a hole in the middle.

Yours came out great. Nice job and I am sure she will love it.

This doesn't have much to do with the topic, well maybe however you all know that the Texas Rangers Badges are made from a Silver Mexican Peso. I have a replica of one but I'm too lazy to take a picture of it. It's illegal to have in Texas.
