<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 1141717, member: 5233&quot;]Being a dental student at my school, we have learned how to make gold coins through lost wax casting of gold.&nbsp; I was thinking this might be a fun process to make a couple rings for my fiancee.&nbsp; I can&#039;t afford gold...I&#039;m a student.&nbsp; So, the next best choice is silver.&nbsp; I have a bunch of &quot;junk&quot; silver lying around and I figured I could melt some of that down and cast it.&nbsp; It&#039;s .090...which I would assume would be visually identical to .925.&nbsp; I guess my main question is, is there any reason why I shouldn&#039;t melt these coins down?&nbsp; None of them have any value other than silver value.</p><p><br /></p><p>The majority of them are half dollars unfortunately which is too much silver for one ring.&nbsp; I might have to section the coins somehow prior to casting or find some quarters (of which I have less of).&nbsp; Also, would there be any noticeable difference if I used 40% Kennedy halves instead of 90% coins?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
