Making rings out of American Half Dollar coins. Franklin and Kennedy coin rings.

Making two American coin rings out of U.S. Half Dollar coins. This time I made a video of how I worked with my Etsy user's custom order. Two rings were ordered from American half dollar coins dated 1963 and 1997. A half dollar coin from 1963 (Franklin) has been made from 90% silver. A half dollar coin from 1997 (Kennedy) have been made with a combination of copper and nickel (inside the coin is a copper core clad in a copper-nickel alloy).
Both Half Dollar coin rings are made in size 8.5 US. At first I was in doubt which side of the coins should be on the outside and which side should be on the inside. But in the end I decided that the side where the year is visible and the text "In God we trust" should be on top. And I think that the rings turned out very beautiful!

lol COOL i wish i had you do my coin ring .... paid big money for a 1896 morgan to be turned into a ring and the whole thing is like 1/3 of the way done. its really ruff and sometimes sharp and the other end is super bulkey ... thought by paying up for it i would get a quality product.... i usually need all my rings custom because i wear a size 17 ring... it has really been one of my major disappointments in the last few years.... its like he got barely into it my ring looks like the coins at 2:20 before they were re pressed into a oval... the whole thing still is cone shaped smh i wish i had the tools to fix it on my own... and i dont really have a place i can take it to have it fixed... im pretty sad about it

Hello I was wondering i had four of those .how much will you charge me have one made.those are so cool

[@CoinRingsStudio]

Hello. My work from your coin costs $35 plus postage. Also, I don't take risks if the coin suddenly cracks during the stretching process. This happens sometimes. If I make a ring using my coins, then these risks are my problems. But if from the customer's coin, then I disclaim responsibility.

What was the other die you put it in to make it round. Did you put it back in the 17 degree die?

[@CoinRingsStudio]

I can't say that the rings are very rounded. I don't like very round, bulging rings. I find it ugly and uncomfortable to wear on the finger. So I make them slightly rounded. After 17 degrees die, I squeeze the rings a little with the rings stretcher tool (at the bottom of the tool, to reduce) and get rounded.

40 percent silver 60 percent copper, so basically you made a silver plated copper ring and a electrolyte cell so every time the ring comes in contact with water or sweat it will degrade the metal and corrode like a battery 😂

[@dennycarter826]

That's against the law they call that defacing US currency and you got a video of it

[@CoinRingsStudio]

Defacing for the purpose of fraud is against the law. In my case, there is no fact or intention of any fraud, so there is no violation of the law.

[@dennycarter826]

@@CoinRingsStudio I think what you done you made some beautiful rings I hope you don't get in trouble doing it I wish you the best

[@SilvaDreams]

That law applies more to melting them down or coring them out to remove the silver or gold content and adding others stuff back in. I mean there have been coin crushing machines around for more than 70 years even at national parks and Disney parks.

Congratulations since half dollar coins are still considered legal tender you are guilty of two counts of violating U.S. Code section 331 against the mutilation of US coins and your own video has provided all the evidence they would need to convict you.

[@CoinRingsStudio]

And how can this American law affect me if I am not a US citizen and live in Europe? And in general, there is no malice or fraud in my actions, therefore I am clean before the law.

[@lunix6.44]

Why you making stupid rings with money for ? Your breaking the law smh 🤦

[@SilvaDreams]

The law applies to melting down the coins or coring them out to remove any silver or gold content and adding back other materials. Federal statute 18 USC 331 “whoever fraudulently alters, defaces, mutilates, impairs, diminishes, falsifies, scales, or lightens any of the coins coined at the mints of the United States … shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.” Also coin crushing machines have been around for more than 70 years and they are even set up at and by the national parks.

It's legal. Also, I am not a US resident.

[@RobertWilliams-mb9jb]

@@CoinRingsStudio you are sadly mistaken.

[@CoinRingsStudio]

@@RobertWilliams-mb9jb No. There is a community of craftsmen who make rings out of coins, and there was an official request and clarification of US laws and there was an official response from lawyers that this is legal.

@@CoinRingsStudio perhaps you need to read 18 USC 331. Defacement of coins can carry a prison sentence of up to five years.
