<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Patriot Coin Ring, post: 2506510, member: 81618&quot;]Yea, I totally agree.&nbsp; It&#039;s just a hobby and in most cases, a hobby becomes an obsession and obsession will run us into debt every time...lol.&nbsp; Most coin rings will run at the lowest starting point around $40-50 based on quality.&nbsp; However, if the coin is rare and like in my avatar photo of on I just made today it retains quality details and not all polished out that you can&#039;t even tell what it was, you can get upwards of a thousand dollars for one (again, all based on the value of the coin).&nbsp; I&#039;ve had people send me very valuable coins, some pure gold and have me make rings out of them.&nbsp; I think people like the idea of wearing something a hundred plus years old and is legible or has meaning such as the date being that it was first created on their birthday, an anniversary or other special something that means something to them on a personal level.&nbsp; This will trump the actual value of a coin every time (at least in my experience).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Tools of the trade?&nbsp; I know some have the most minimal tools possible and you really can get started in the hobby for a couple hundred dollars but I personally have over $3,000 in specialty tools and I still don&#039;t have everything.&nbsp; I still plan on getting a quality CNC machine (small for this sized projects).&nbsp; I just dropped $2,000 last week in a quality electroplating kit that will plate in Silver, Nickle, 24k Gold, Copper and Platinum.&nbsp; Particularly nice for those real quality jobs higher paying clients want.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, thus justifies the cost for many of these rings but yes, you can find quality rings for around $50 and that&#039;s my bread in butter of orders.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
