On annealing things burn at different temperatures. A magic marker will disappear at annealing temp. Scraping wood will leave a black line. Or you can buy heat sticks.
Your problem with cracking is because you are hardening the metal with your quench. Using water to quench is the worst choice when you want to harden metal. You are potentially introducing cracks. You should allow the coin to cool down slowly. That releases internal stress.
Thank you for your input. I did an experiment a couple days ago. I made another Morgan coin ring, from a Morgan in really good shape, and did not quench at all after each anneal. It's the first Morgan I have ever had crack on me, and, rather quickly. I have never had his problem with a Morgan which I was quenching each time I re-annealed. I think I will stick with my annealing/quenching process as I have been doing for the past three years and others have been using for many more years than I have.
You did a beautiful job, Larry. With the humble shop and equipment that you have, I'd say you did a wonderful job. And the fact that you've only been doing this for 6 months is very good.
Really enjoyed this video. I found an old silver Florin coin ring metal detecting couple years ago and was amazed by the precision and craftsmanship. Good to see how these are created.
You did one of the most informative ring making videos on UA-cam, Happy thanksgiving & good luck on your new venture. Great looking ring, Someone is going to be happy with there new ring
Absolutely❤️gorgeous ring. I’m a coin🇺🇸collector and my late uncle taught me, how to make a ring from a coin using a steel soup spoon. Thank you🤙🏼for sharing the video post and best of🍀luck to you and yours.
The key to using the Ross push followers from Jason's Works is to remove the teflon tape from the very edge of the coin you want to press against..If you don't, the pusher will slide off the teflon edge while being pressed (as if it were lubricated) thus damaging to your follower.. An easy way to remove the teflon from the edge before pressing with the Ross push followers is to place the teflon edge you want to remove upside down in a reduction die and just lightly bump it a few times and the tape will easily pull off. Hope this helps
we used to make coin rings by tapping the edge of the coin with a table spoon while rotating the coin and last we would punch the hole,took a long time but it worked
There is no price for something made by hand or a gift made for you personally by someone. Certain things cannot be purchased and can never be replaced. Thank you for this video. Many thanks!!
Hi Larry, I to create coin rings, just something I have found is that using ‘white vinegar’ after annealing keeps the coin from darkening, I.e. more ‘silver’ looking, easier to see any cracking that might occur. Give it a try : vinegar vs water.
Thanks, Peter! Yes, I do use that method nowadays unless I want more of a patina. Then I just leave the firescaling on it for a more durable patina than liver of sulphur, and polish the high points. Great tip!
Dude! Your video is the bomb! I sures heck couldn't do any better than you did. You kept my attention, didn't fumble over your words, and kept me on track with your instructions!!! I'd like to learn to-torials (didn't say I could spell!!!) From someone like you.
Coin rings were originally made in the late 1800s 1900s using a spoon and rotating the coin beating it with a spoon until it sandwiched out in two different directions then drilling and sizing. The coin design was only on the inside of the ring
I’m 76 and when I was in the US Navy 55 years ago I made a ring out of a nickel using a spoon; turned out pretty good, but you don’t see the actual nickel like you do with this Morgan dollar. This is more amazing ; it looks great! I have a few hundred Morgan’s and Peace Dollars and would like to try this, or even on an American Silver Eagle. They’re actually worth more as a ring than a coin right now. Great job!
That only applies to iron. Softer metals are still soft after quenching. They will work harden as you fold and stretch, which is why they need to be re-annealed over and over, to avoid cracking.
Just a tip if you mark the coin with a sharpie pin and heat it until the mark from the sharpie pen disappears then it is perfectly ready to quench it works for silver all grades of silver even 9999 and any other metal copper i have not used it for a gold coin because i don't have that kind of money so i do not no if it works for gold but the sharpie pen works really good and you don't have to turn the lights off.
Nice Job on Making Rings from Coins, You dont need to Quench the metal after heating it up, Quenching Hot metal Actually makes the Metal Brittle again, Allow the metal to cool down Slowly, That will keep the metal soft. keep up the great work.
Great video. Thank you. I searched for it as I'm doing my first larger coin and came to find out that it was too big for my reducing die! So it looks like I need to buy a few tools.
I have always liked how these rings look. Your work looks great! When and where will your next showing be? I would like to start making my own rings at some point, but think I may want one or two before then.
I found your video to on-par with "professional" productions. Most of the commenters here value substance over production including me. Thank you for detailing a mysterious process!
Hi Mike. I got these from Amazon. Here is the link; www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DQSK01M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They are 100 grit on one side, 180 grit on the other. I finish off the ring using 0000 steel wool
Just ran into this video, very detailed and honestly I'd watch this over a better camera quality video if it slacked on the actual knowledge your putting out. I really appreciate it, might try one for myself or haha just buy one from you since I don't have the tools, and it wouldn't be for quantity. Keep up the good work my man!
I have the one my dad made using a spoon pounding on it during all the days, weeks, months spent on transport ships island hopping in the South Pacific during WWll. He used a 1921; the year he was born. The outside looks like just a silver ring; you have to look on the inside to tell it was a silver dollar.
I got a 1887 silver dollar and was told it's only worth silver value. So maybe a ring like this would be a better option. Would you do this to my coin?
Sure! There is a post that runs up the middle of the four-piece outer shell. When the lever is pushed, it forces the center shaft upwards which causes the coin to widen slightly. Each time, it stretches the ring a little, which causes it to move down a little farther on the shaft and then the process is repeated until the metal begins to work harden. Once it work hardens, you need to stop and re-anneal to avoid splitting the ring.
i enjoyed watching and learning. I would like it if you had shown the finished product for more than 2 seconds. this was like funning past the Mona Lisa with barely a glance.
I'm 79 , and I think this would be a fun hobby and maybe I could even make a buck or two. How much do you have invested in the tools? These rings look pretty thick. Does it hurt when grabbing something or shaking hands?
I am 73 and I agree with you about fun and possible $$, and, like you, I also would like an idea about how much the initial investment was, but he doesn't seem to answer questions. If you figured it out, let me know. thanks
I have answered a lot of questions, but I only have so much time in a day. I did answer this question for another viewer. I initially invested about $1000 to get all the decent tools to begin producing rings. I have invested several hundred more this past year to add additional dies for different sizes of coins.
The rings are thick. I don't wear mine everyday, especially when working or doing any kind of hands-on activities. It all depends on your finger shape and the shape of the ring.
Looks very nice...I will say that when you were centering the piece on the drill for burnishing you might try using a nice flat piece of wood or metal instead of stopping and using your gloves... just thought... I know nothing...
Thanks, Mike, for your kind words and your thoughts about the process. I have more control pushing the ring on the rubber mandrel rather using a piece of wood, but I appreciate your suggestion. Blessings!
You’re doing great 👍 You’re using what you can afford What a Beautiful ring Keep working at it You’ll be a pro in no time See you already are in my book. How much was that ring worth before as a coin? after I know the ring is priceless Do you have a late 60 (68-69) or 1970 silver dollar in a size 12?
Thank you for your support and kind comments! The coin in its original condition was valued between $30-40. The USA stopped making silver dollars in 1935 so there are none dated 1960-1970. The closest we have are half dollars. Up until 1964, they were 90% silver. 1965-1969 they were only 40% silver.
My dad had two mason jars filled with silver dollars from around 1859 to 1889. When I was about 14, I found the pawn shop giving me around $25 a piece. And this was back in The early '80s so I could party for a whole weekend for a buck. That was my mindset at the time still got a few left. No idea what they're worth today.
@@langjr0 yeah. That's kind of the range I thought of them being today. They were more nostalgic and sentimental than anything else. But 25 bucks for the weekend when you're 16 years old in the '80s was to much temptation lol
You wouldn't believe how many of these coins are truly destroyed by being melted down for scrap over the years. I consider it to be altering the coin, not destroying it.
@@piergiovanni-battistabelze7532 You've just added another one. Perhaps your scroll wheel isn't working. Destroying history? Get real! People can do whatever they want with their property.
Great question! In order for the folding and stretching process to work the best, the hole has to be directly in the center of the coin. Drilling leaves too much room for error (being off-center). A good punch and die set allows you to make a perfectly centered hole in the coin, which will exponentially increase your success rate in forming the ring without distortion. That being said, some coins will distort no matter how perfectly centered you make the hole. Franklin half dollars are a perfect example. They do not stretch evenly, thus creating the perfect environment for wonky rings.
I have found foreign countries coins to have very beautiful designs. And they can be picked up for not much money. You do need to be careful of some steel coins because they are really hard to work with. Take along a magnetic when you are looking 👀 for these coins.
Thanks, Steven. Yes, I actually started with foreign coins. Inexpensive and like you said, some of them make beautiful rings! I have also figured out not to use the steel ones. They are too hard on the dies.
I think you did a fine job ! It’s hard to get in front of a camera and act as if your talking to your best friend ! Lol. You can clean up the reducer dies fairly easy I used a drumel on mine and came out smooth as a babies butt ! Lol
you can use a black marker to mark the coin prior to heating it to aneal it you heat the coin tell the marks you made from the black marker disapiers and then it will be at the perfect time to quinch it in to the waterhelps on silver and gold coins
On my third coin ring been wearing one over 20 years married for 38 years im a construction worker siver is no competition for my line of work but I dig these rings can't tell they're coins anymore except from inside what's the price for one of yours id buy one from ya rookie or not
Nice work. Just curious if you have heard of doing this with a table spoon only? I had a friend back in the 70s who would take a half dollar and just tap the edge of the coin and over time it would start to deform into the same thing you are doing. It would take weeks sometimes months and a lot of patients but they were beautiful when done.
Thanks, Robert. Yes, I have heard of that process from a lot of different people. I even found a ring like that while metal detecting about 6 years ago.
Quality takes time. It turned out great. You'll get faster in time (no rush). Thanks for sharing

Nothing 19th century should be destroyed anymore. Even if it's beautifully destroyed into a ring. Preserve history.

If you put a piece of round shafting with snug fit down the center hole, your pusher will not collapse inside the coin.

I have made a few,they make a big ring but nice .Get the center punch it is worth the money
Lee or Lyman makes a chamfering tool that is conical for brass ammo cases. Inexpensive and more precise
Do you have a link you can share? I'm always interested in more precise methods. Thanks!
If Im not mistaken, to heat and quench hardens metal. Heat and let cool slowly to aneal
That only applies to iron. Gold, silver and copper won't harden from quenching.

Why are you quenching coin after annealing ? wouldent it be better to form it while is soft ? quenching hardens metal
That only applies to iron.
Probably a silly question... but why not just drill out the center vs buying die/punch set and all that goes with punching out the center?

Wouldn't quench hardening go against the objective. Until the end that is ?
It’s silver not steel. Silver is annealed to soften it so heated then quenched. Unlike steel which hardens

Doesn't cold quenching degrade the annealing process?
When dealing with iron, yes, it will harden it. But not with silver, copper, brass, bronze and gold.
@@LarryJHoman Good to know, Thanks!
The coin quenching is the annealing process. When silver is heated and then cooled quickly it softens unlike steel or iron.
you can use a black marker to mark the coin prior to heating it to aneal it you heat the coin tell the marks you made from the black marker disapiers and then it will be at the perfect time to quinch
it in to the waterhelps on silver and gold coins

It would take weeks sometimes months and a lot of patients but they were beautiful when done.
Thanks, Robert. Yes, I have heard of that process from a lot of different people. I even found a ring like that while metal detecting about 6 years ago.
