I bought this. Wow it is so well machined. You can tell when you pick it up that it is a tool for a lifetime.

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+Vege Nostic I know I love mine!

[@valdemircardoso5731]

I liked this kit to shape the rings as can aquire this set

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+Valdemir Cardoso Good deal! I really like this set too.

[@davidrivera5114]

Well I trust his methods I use it never fails and u can always check to see if it's perfectly centered. How easily with gauge and doing some measurements if u have doubts. Or us another methods. But Skylar bro awesome video hit me up.

[@Gratitude788]

Hello sir I'm thinking about getting this disc cutter but need an educated opinion. What is your level of confidence in using this to cut a 1" hole in Morgan's, silver eagles and challenge coins? I'm using coins to make rings that aren't really coin rings sometimes and I've been machining unwanted material off on the lathe but having that 1" piece of material to use in different applications would be very useful. I would be using a hydraulic press.

[@mdoooo7]

Do you have a video on how to size coin rings basically I really need to know where to start with the size end up at a size and how to do it thanks

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

Yes I do. Many of my videos show sizing. Just look through some of my other videos depending on the type of coin you want to use. Thanks!

[@giuseppevincenti2988]

Permanent or non permanent marker? i remember i've seen a also a video someone marked the coin with an marker before annealing and said the coin has the right temparature when the mark remove from coin in the annealing process. Is this true?

[@gaylea.griffin9733]

What if you have to do it by hand how hard is it?

[@renzotalara]

I can see you have a few bill from Peru, that was nice to see, thank you for your videos.

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+renzotalara Right on. Thanks for watching!

[@renzotalara]

+Coin Rings from The Mint - Change You Can Wear I'm originally from Peru from that era of the 100 intis, if I can remember I bring you a bill back to the states, beautiful videos keep it up.

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+renzotalara Thanks for that! I would gladly add it to the wall :)

[@nost8mt]

Did you anneal the coin before punching it? I have a Swanstrom disc cutter and until I saw this video, would never have been brave enough to use for a Morgan. My "Tools to Get" list just got shorter! Thanks, Skyler!

[@highanddryful]

I would like to know as well.

[@1garagedoorman]

Glad I chose you to make my rings, looks like a true craft. Looking forward to seeing the rings soon.

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

Good deal thanks!

[@66lwmorgan]

Which punch set do you prefer, the Pepe punch set or the one from Jason Works? Another great tutorial.

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

Jason's by far

[@66lwmorgan]

@@CoinRingsfromTheMint From what I see I would have to agree. Wish I could afford his tools but that's why your video's are helpful, you offer ways for those who can't get the good stuff, thanks again Skyler.

[@joegoodman2797]

what is the price

[@ipod1978]

Good video pal. Are these punches not suitable for 1mm only? Some of the more collectable coins I have are up to 3mm thick so what would you recommend for punching holes from those?

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+Junior J They might have that recommendation but I punch thick coins with it and it stands up better than any other punch I have used. I have punched probably hundreds of morgan dollars with mine since this video even and it hasn't had a single issue. They are a thick coin.

[@ipod1978]

+Coin Rings from The Mint - Change You Can Wear Gentleman thank you

[@FireEater]

I'm only on my 5th ring and the harbor freight punch is already chipped thanks for what looks like a better alternative.

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

Yeah they can be hit and miss

[@Au60schild]

+Coin Rings from The Mint - Change You Can Wear Can you tell a starting hobbyist what brand of press you use or would recommend for a serious hobbyist (ie. more quality than $ savings)? Thanks!

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+Au60schild I am completely sold on hydraulic presses. There are some very nice ones out there but I find the harbor freight 6 ton hydraulic press to work well. can you buy a better one, most definitely but the harbor freight one will work fine. I have been using mine for about 4 years and am only now looking to upgrade.

[@Au60schild]

+Coin Rings from The Mint - Change You Can Wear Thanks much for the great advice and all in less than a 10 minute wait. Appreciate it!

[@d64297]

I would like to punch a star instead of the hole. Any idea how this could work?

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+Thomas G. Sure that is totally possible. You would just need to go to a machinist and they can make it.

[@FUGYOO]

I can think of an option like you placing my ring in a padded envelope and the possibility of me receiving it by Saturday. How does that sound Skyler?

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+FUGYOO Did you order a ring?

[@FUGYOO]

Ummm...no. I anticipated you sending one simply because I watched the video, lol. JK Coin Rings from The Mint - Change You Can Wear

[@Mogul25Years]

How can you say the hole is perfectly centered if all you are using is a felt tipped pen and lining it up by eye. There needs to be a more accurate way of positioning the coin under the punch.

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

It works just fine :) I also recommend Jason works custom punch if you can't use this

[@benjamingouerec745]

it is possible to do it with a other disc cutter?

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

most certainly

[@user-iq7en1lg3i]

How do you purchase this tool? All I can see from the website is its description. There is no "buy" button or anything like that. Is it only purchasable in the U.S.? Thank you!

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+S. Ghim You have to buy it from a dealer. I am going through the process to become one so they are more easily available. They should be in my website www.changeyoucanwear.net for sale in the next few weeks.

[@user-iq7en1lg3i]

Ok that's great! But can i buy one from Europe as well?

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+S. Ghim If I'm selling them it should be no problem. I ship to Europe now. the only thing will be a higher shipping cost because of the weight

[@user-iq7en1lg3i]

Ok that's cool. How much will it cost approximately? Do you have any idea on the price (including shipping cost)?

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+S. Ghim I have no idea on shipping yet but I think the tool is around $200

[@TheNinjapig27]

How much does that disc cutting set cost?

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+TheNinjapig27 Right about $200

[@tri-forceblades3123]

This was made in 2015. Do you still reccomend this over Jason works tools

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

No. This has it's uses for me but the auto punch from Jason is the top of the hill for sure. That thing is awesome!

[@drsta804]

+Coin Rings from The Mint - Change You Can Wear I know this is off hand but can you make rings out of silver rounds? I have a "Texas" silver art round .999 and I would love to send it to you and have it made into a ring. would this be possible?

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

I can but the one ounce rounds tend to be really large. Usually around a size 14

[@drsta804]

+Coin Rings from The Mint - Change You Can Wear Thank you for the quick reply! That would actually work great I think. I'm 6'4 with fairly large hands. I have not purchased or sized a ring in over a decade now. My ring finger measures exactly 3in when I wrap a piece of paper around snug. According to the internet that's about a size 14 I guess. Should I contact you further via your website? or email? very interested, great work and vids BTW! subbed!

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+bloodswarms Yes it is

[@barbarianatgate2000]

I realize that the base plate is pretty durable, but after time and use, I would expect that using the press for this could lead to dishing or warping of the base plate.

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

A few years of pretty heavy use and it is still perfect

[@roycethefox]

i swear to god if someone makes a pepe the frog joke...

[@cristinalaroche4201]

So speaking from experience skip Pepe tool. The product is made well however it takes much time to get the center whole and usually it turns out off by a millimeter, that turns out to a nightmare for the rest of the project. I have been working with this Pepe tool for a week and have had more problems then its worth. Jason Works is awesome!

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

I agree with Jason works. I am friends with him and highly recommend his punches. But to be honest getting a hole in an unusual coin can be a problem if you don't have something like this. If you mark your coin correctly there is no reason it should be off. I do it all the time and don't have a problem.

[@1972Russianwolf]

wait a couple months, I'm sure someone will make up some centering cards for this tool for the common coin sizes.

[@acts238now]

why can't you just use a drill press and a drill? I'm sorry, I'm a newbie

[@CoinRingsfromTheMint]

+Kevin Moran Some people do. I have a video showing that too. It just not accurate at all.

[@mightyredstallion]

I wish this trend never kicked off.All I see is millions of dollars worth of old money being turned into hundreds of dollars worth of junk. Using new coins is fine, whatever. But be certain, you aren't going to improve the value of a very old coin no matter how wonderful of a jeweler you think you are. Some things are best just left as they are.
