I am looking to get made for myself a pinky ring. I am not too fond of gold on myself, so I was thinking a silver coin would be fitting. Does anyone have any coins they would recommend for such an endeavour. I am doing this to create a jewelery set I can wear/carry. It will include an ASE bezeled on a chain, and cufflinks, which I am also looking for ideas on. Maybe even a good design half to put on a money clip. Any suggestions?
Walking Liberty, of course. Perhaps you could use one of those "tribute" proof-like replicas of a '21 that are all over EBay. Using one of those on a money clip would (a) preserve another real one for someone's collection and (b) not be an obvious fake to anyone but a WL collector, as the Hobby Protection Act markings are on the reverse and would be concealed by the clip. :whistle:
Stop messing around and go Platinum.... You can get A.P.E.s in Various sizes.... If you don't mind, post up pics of this when you get it all made.... I would really like to check it out... I almost did a gold A.G.E. on a necklace, but I was afraid I'd look like a Pimp or Disco dude from the early 70s or whenever that was the thing..
if you could find a nice set of like 5 pfennig coins from Germany in UNC they would look nice as a set of cuff links. the eagle on one side would look really sharp. try like anywere from 1901-1922 i think it would look nice. =)
As much as I would LOVE to do that, my poor college student budget couldn't afford the platinum to set all of this in. ::sigh:: maybe one day. I like the following idea, after talking with some friend. Either a complete Seated set -Dime for pinky ring -Quarter for cufflinks -Half for necklace or A varying set -Seated or Merc Dime for pinky ring -Buffalo Nickels for cufflinks -Walking Half for necklace. I was gonna incorporate Standing quarters in there, but I can't think where they would fit. Whadya think?
