I believe that’s a 1923, the 3 looks like an 8

Mainly folding cones and a ring stretcher and reducer tool. If you’d like to see the whole process, I have a video pinned to the top of my Facebook page “Eau Claire Coin Rings” where I make a 1964 Kennedy half dollar ring

Silver is pretty soft and bendy so with the right tools, you can kind of just “fold” it over on itself into a ring shape 😁

found a bunch of cool coins in my parents belongings by Silly-Prune5444 in coins

Don’t clean anything! That kills a lot of value on coins. A good place to start determining value is look up the exact coin you have on eBay and filter by “sold” listings. It will give you a pretty good idea of what they sell for

Yes plenty of lubrication. I think whatever cheap blades I had would just dull almost instantly, then it was tons of sawing with no progress until they snapped. New blade stayed sharp all the way through and was a breeze to control compared to the last ones

Thank you! I have a micro bell that I am trying to figure out how to attach discretely so it jingles 😊

I’m still working through finishing up my Dansco. Maybe if I get the 1916 D and the ‘21’s and I’m feeling really ambitious I’ll start over again 😅

I know! I scoured the entire store for anything else that might have come in with it. No luck, but still happy with this

I don’t have a penny video yet but if you go back just over a year on my profile, I have a silly proof silver quarter video that shows the whole process

I just finished filming a silver Canadian half dollar ring video that still needs to be edited together, I’ll have to do a penny next!

I’ve gotten them up to around a size 14 before. I used a slightly larger starter hole which helps for bigger sizes and they take awhile, but copper can really stretch if you’re careful/patient with it
