<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Greg Sebring, post: 1113418, member: 12186&quot;]This is a ring that was made by my father while he in WWII fighting in Europe. I&#039;m not exactly sure where he did it (England I presume). It was made from a 1944 Two Shilling coin. Dad said it was a fad among G.I.&#039;s to pass the time of day. </p><p><br /></p><p>You would pinch the coin between your thumb and index finger and while pinching it tightly, you would strike it against something hard. You would then rotate it a bit and strike it again. This was done until the desired width was achieved. You then drilled it out to fit your finger and had a silver ring.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can still read the denomination and and date. I just thought it might be interesting to English collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>Greg</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]111804.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
