Why I Destroyed a Super Rare Carson City Morgan Dollar

[@liljuanito123]

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.

[@TEXB0X]

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.

[@ClassCiv]

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

[@briandunlap3936]

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

[@SilverStruck]

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!

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.

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

It’s really a head game I think personally. I went through the same thought process when I started making these years ago. There are literally millions of these things out there. Every coin shop in the country has a stack of them for sale. The US government wrapped them up in patriotic sauce in order to unload them for a premium. And even then it took 7 sales over almost a decade to finally get the public to take them off their hands.

[@jeffveron8783]

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!!!

Yes, it makes it valuable because of the history and the lower number made at that mint, which you would know if you knew how to read.

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.

[@boblindstrom3479]

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.

[@davidvandebrake8454]

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 .

[@tomdimartino7361]

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

[@tomsch5801]

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.

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

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

[@brianroberts815]

I agree. Very cri ge. With Carson City dollars being the crem dela crem, a CC dollar is a piece of history. I wonder why it is, or isn't illegal to deface or destroy American coinage? I know we can't melt coins down to get bullion, like pre '82' Lincoln cents. But it's totally worth it. Currently, a copper cent( can't bring myself to ever call them pennies ), is worth 3.1 cents melt value. And nickels are worth 8 cents melt.

[@Boxxkarr]

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!

[@PeacefulPeteable]

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.

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

Thanks I appreciate the compliment! Honestly the reason is just because I can I guess. People want them is a big reason. But the biggest reason for me is that this exposes the silliness of perceived rarity. It’s literally just like you said. The only difference is the cc markings. I’m not really a sentimental person so this feels good to do. And on the flip side, a very small set of people will get the ability to wear one of these. That group loves the exclusivity of it.
