Just started folding dollars and have done about 5. Found that Morgans are harder to work with and you have to anneal more often and longer guessing due to silver content is less than in ASE.
@SouthWindCoinrings 6 ай бұрын
Hi Donn, Thanks for the comment. Morgan's are definitely a harder to work with than the American Silver Eagles since Morgan's are 90% silver with a 10% copper alloy. The benefit of the coin silver alloy is that the metal wears much better than pure silver. Good luck with your coin ring making endeavor!
@ValThor-s6z 6 ай бұрын
@@SouthWindCoinringsYou're sure right about the silver alloy wearing better. I was going to give up on the Morgans because of the hardness but decided not to. I also noticed while folding the Morgans is that since more pressure is needed when using the Ross pushers the coin edge/lip can become distorted. Then I remembered seeing another coin maker turning the Ross frequently while folding and that worked for me.

@SouthWindCoinrings 9 ай бұрын
Hi Kelly, thanks for your comment. The reason for adding the patina is to provide contrast between the background and the details in the foreground. If the ring is made with a high polish finish, the details are lost in the background making them difficult to see. So it's a matter of individual taste. I can make the rings with either patina, or high polish finish. Thanks!!

Quenching the coin in the pickle hardens it. Let it cool on its own. Then pickle it in hot pickle in a crock pot. You will find it stays softer.

@keirfarnum6811 10 ай бұрын
Why aren’t you annealing in between your attempts to bend the center out? I’m assuming that’s silver; so I have to assume you’re work hardening it with every operation. I would assume that annealing it in between operations would ensure it’s soft enough to bend. Or am I making an incorrect assumption based on lack of knowledge of this technique? 🤷🏻♀️ P.S., you’re the fastest sander in the West! 😁 P.P.S., 11:20 I did catch that you said you did anneal it at that point; but I would think one would ideally want to do it after every operation bending the coin.
@SouthWindCoinrings 10 ай бұрын
Thanks for the comment! The reason I’m not annealing more often is because this is .999 fine silver. It’s usually not necessary to anneal after every bend. I just go by feel. Also, we try to work harden the silver so the rings are not so soft when finished.
@giuseppevincenti2988 10 ай бұрын
Oh man...i'm really scared from coins like this. I have ruined the nice tiger and dragon round because the hole was so small and it overstreched and cracked at least. I never tried it again but i changed my style of coinring making complete. For example today i would never try to get the polar bear on the ring but i would cut the whole bear out to make a pendant and from the rest a the ring.
@SouthWindCoinrings 10 ай бұрын
Hi Pino, my first attempt was a failure because I wasn't paying close enough attention to the cut edge, and wasn't using standard procedure to stretch the hole. Sometime I make silly errors when working during a live stream.

Hi Pino, I got the coins at www.bgasc.com/product/1-2-oz-silver-rounds-mpm-egyptian-999-fine-fractional-silver-bullion. The price was $18.30 US. I'm not sure if they do international shipping. Even if they do, I think the import duties will kill you! I sent a ring to a guy in Spain and the import duty was around 25 US dollars. So that 45 dollar Ebay cost might not be too out of line IF the seller is located in Germany. Good luck!!

@SouthWindCoinrings 11 ай бұрын
I would recommend that you go to a local coin shop to buy your Morgan. A face to face transaction is always better. Definitely beware of buying on Ebay. While there are legitimate coin dealers on Ebay, the Morgan Dollars and American Silver Eagles are scammers favorites. There are very good fakes of these two coins that can be purchased on Chinese ecommerce sites for around $2.00 US. They are then sold on Ebay for discount prices. See my recent video about being ripped off on an American Silver Eagle.
