<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SmokeMonkey, post: 348833, member: 6459&quot;]the two sided ring requires a ring mandrel, like the one jewelers use to make rings round again, or slightly enlarge a ring, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=34810&amp;highlight=coin+rings" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=34810&amp;highlight=coin+rings" rel="nofollow">http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=34810&amp;highlight=coin+rings</a>&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>the first post has a link to a PDF file which explains how to make both types of rings.&nbsp; i imagine getting a ring mandrel is easy.&nbsp; and i was right, ebay has tons of ring madrels, though many of the cheapest are black plastic, not practical for hammering a coin into a ring.&nbsp; you need a steel one, without a groove.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>i also started on a no date standing liberty quarter...so far its turning out well.&nbsp; im using a 32 ounce ball peen hammer BUT, i know how to use such a hammer so its going VERY well, better than i thought it would.&nbsp; the edge is turning out nicely and doesnt show major hammer marks, only slight ones, most of the edge is nice and smooth.&nbsp; im use a flat piece of solid brass for an anvil and its turning out very well.&nbsp; maybe when i get a mandrel i&#039;ll make two sided rings.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
