Here is a recent silver 53' quarter:

And here is a NH state quarter ring:

 

I cry every time.

And btw, this should probably just go to the WTS thread. It's advertising IMO.

 

I don't think it advertising, but i will take the last parts off.

 

Bravo. A few more and you'll get the hang of it.

It appears that the rings you've created aren't "square" in that the sides appear angled meaning, a smaller diameter circle on the top compared to the bottom. Perhaps that's a direct result of the sizing tool?

 

dunno. i think i just need to center the coin a little more.

 

No need to cry over a handful of mostly state quarters...

If the kid can make a few bucks on top of the learning experience, it's a win-win.

 

Why a perfectly good '53 silver quarter?

 

It was "junk silver" when i got it, so i made it into a ring and polished her up.

 

Ah okay.

 

silver a soft alloy, good to work with

 

cool rings.

 

No reason to - those are pretty common coins as far as I can tell. And if you turn a coin into something that is also attractive ...

And while this does not seem to be a FS topic, I moved the posts about chess to a separate topic. See here.
