It is absolutely awesome! THings like this become a heirloom for a family. Imagine you use coins from the year your child was born. It will be treasured forever. I truly like your art and you are an awesome instructor. I hope to be able to come for a personal class soon. Thanks! Marin
Section 331 of Title 18 of the United States code provides criminal penalties for anyone who “fraudulently alters, defaces, mutilates impairs, diminishes, falsifies, scales, or lightens any of the coins coined at the Mints of the United States.” This statute means that you may be violating the law if you change the appearance of the coin and fraudulently represent it to be other than the altered coin that it is. As a matter of policy, the U.S. Mint does not promote coloring, plating or altering U.S. coinage: however, there are no sanctions against such activity absent fraudulent intent.
WOW! Great instructional video. The step to solder the 2 halves together is fascinating. Also, the bell makes a nice sound. These would work great for the motorcycle folks who run these on their bikes for good luck. Thanks for the video!
You think you can do a video demo with just a doming block and a ring stretcher... my dome comes out too wide and not enough lip so I had to stretched the bottom too much .. but I cant get a lip on the dome to hold the solder ... any help is appreciated ..
Wohoo! I did it! I made one and it looks good..not as perfect as yours but for the the first one I make is great ... Thank you for the idea and support.
Well, first of all, all you nay sayers who are expressing negative comments, are complicit by just watching. Second, I’m sure most of you have been to a zoo or a theme park where they had the penny flattener. You put a quarter and a penny in and you turn the crank and the flattened penny comes out with the theme on it. Great job, man! Good tools and great craftsmanship!
Gabe C Hi Gabe, Would you mind sharing where you got your equipment used in making your bell? Thanks for your time and help...! Have a great day and be blessed.
Awesome bell! I can absolutely appreciate an item like this. Both as a coin collector, and a biker. That is absolutely a bell I would buy to put on my Harley.
This guy is awesome...I got two rings from him...one for me and recently one for my wife(still waiting for it)...I get a lot of attention and questions about my ring....and yessss I do give them your website..great work..
karl seel Dont be a douche, especially since the comment flew right over your head. Also, if you cant commit to saying "ass" dont bother at all. What are you? 5?
I was able to get the dome to have a lip to be able solder to bottom used the dome block and reducer from the coin stretcher.. I need your help to get the right flux and solder ..thanks in advance ..
Yeah. Changing a $1 bill to a $5. I also read something about how there are laws against selling modified currency (could have been youtube lawyer BS). Could you clue me in about the tools you're using? What are these dyes and punches actually made for? Or was it all machined specifically to make bells like this?
Dude I have been waiting on a video like this for about 3 years now thank you thank you thank you. awesome work as always. what size punch is the hole sir. and what are you using for handle. thank you in advance
What an awesome little project! I saw the way your rings were made and came back to see this. This truly is amazing you are able to fuse those together.
Fantastic, was wondering if you could help me out with a question ? Will modern coins take on a patina finish and if so where can I find the products , any help would be appreciated , Thanks 🙏🏽
I just made the third bell using two Mexican 20 pesos coins... they are very thick and heavy coins. I now need to make a good clapper and canons... any suggestions? For the first one I used a nickel coin cut and shaped like a cross... but was very hard to do and I do not like the look. I have no dies and do it all with the doming block and ring stretcher.
Me and my six-year-old girl Princess Isabella love watching your videos she loves the build more than I do Great job we both love to own the piece of art Specially when you make the rings out of cons
Would you share the type of wire you are using for the handle and tapper attachment. Really a neat idea. I have the two coins ready but want to make sure of the other materials before I solder. More fun than should be allowed.
When I made this video j really should have gone to the store for something better. But I didn't and used something that was handy haha. It was a cotter pin :)
Coin Rings from The Mint - Change You Can Wear, its illegal to destroy nickels and pennies since 2005. ..so the coins that are being used for the video are ok for now.
@@tghost7721 You tell me to "read about it" but I already have nearly two years ago when I started making coin rings. Do you have a particular link to information you believe will change my mind? If so, share it. There is an entire industry with tooling makers and jewelry making suppliers like Rio Grande who supply, not only tools, but offer workshops on it. Interesting that you single out nickels and pennies in your comments. First, those are two of the coins least likely to be made into rings (or other items). Secondly, what about coin elongation? Ever heard that term? Look it up and let us know how that is legal but, somehow, making rings, bells, etc is not (according to you, that is).
Watching you at work just shows me what a person can do if they set their mind to it and it really makes me smile to see a craft men at work post more videos please . I hope you had a great Labor Day weekend. live on dude
Yeah, I commented sooner than my brain realized I can pause the video and read the info, sorry. Really like the end results and your techniques. Thanks for responding and keep on crafting.
Is there a particular solder type to use? I am having trouble getting my solder to flow into the bell halfs. My solder runs to the bottom of the cup most often. Thanks. Jim Holden
Why do you heat up the coin, then rapid-cool it, before bending it? Wouldn't heat-treating it cause it to harden, thus likely to break during the bend phase ?
I enjoy being walked through the process by your videos. Seeing the finished items gives you a very satisfying feeling of excellence. God's blessed you with a gift. Nice work!
@@CoinRingsfromTheMint I'm just asking for your best guess..so Skyler, should I go with 5/8 dome and punch? C'mon I'm just a beginner starting out. I'm just asking for a little guidance from you. I mean you're one of the few gods with this stuff? I just need you to give me a starting point of amorgan dollar bell. I couldn't believe you said it would be complicated to answer. But I guess it goes to show that you know a lot more than me and so there must be a lot that I'm not considering. I sincerely have a lot of respect for you your videos and work wow! All I was just asking and hoping for is you'd help me a little with the holidays coming. I'll be using ( per your advice on size the ball presses that come with doming block sets. Give me your best analysis for a 999. Silver replica of a morgan with same diameter. And I'll try it out and report the results to you through video on P.M. and we could work through trial and error. I'm sure the size domed is also the same diameter size punched as your half dollar videos.with in your previous work with halfs. Just asking for guidance on 1oz. Silver rounds. Ok? I'm sorry if I am Bothersome, but Skyler, you really inspire me and want to learn as much as I can from you. With all my respect to you as a grandmaster in the craft. Thank for taking the time with me. I love your channel, and you're not to bad either..🤣🤣 Love you brother thanks for every thing including your patience with me . - I'm your fan and you have truly inspired me. Thank you in advance.
@@CoinRingsfromTheMint Thank you Skyler, so would you say 5/8 or 3/4 for dome and punch just asking your best advice off the top of your head. Thanks again..
Would rather here you talking about your tools and the processes you are using at the time. Still beautiful work though. If I don’t win would there be a way to order one?
For a better proportion, use a third ring, placed between the coins so the bell is longer and you can clean the finished bell in a mixture of wingar and salt to remove the dark patina.
Wow all those tools. I am a handyman from Philippines(I am a browny guy not Filipino also). I loved your video Sir and also nice Music too. Keep up the good work.
@@CoinRingsfromTheMint if you could do a video on that, that would be amazing. The only trick I could see is rolling the edge around to meet the ear and it being tight enough to stay in the ear.. And I'm sure it would be a great seller. I thought about doing Indian head nickels.. Or maybe a mercury dime for a smaller gauge.
I love this tiny bell!! Makes me want to send you some of the coins in my collection to see what you can do with them!
How did he do it?
It is absolutely awesome! THings like this become a heirloom for a family. Imagine you use coins from the year your child was born. It will be treasured forever. I truly like your art and you are an awesome instructor. I hope to be able to come for a personal class soon. Thanks! Marin

Timothy, you are a moron.
Timothy Mckee He’s not committing fraud in any way. He isn’t trying to pass these off as something they are not. 100% within the law.
Awesome coin bell! Your craftsmanship never ceases to amaze me!
Thanks!
I agree Great video, I'd much rather hear the sounds of a productive workshop than that music
With my tinnitus, I could barely hear the bell over the music. Irony reigns.
WOW! Great instructional video. The step to solder the 2 halves together is fascinating. Also, the bell makes a nice sound. These would work great for the motorcycle folks who run these on their bikes for good luck. Thanks for the video!
Right on you're welcome!

That's an awesome piece that anyone would be proud to have! Such a cool price for a contest!
Thanks!
Wow! Impressive workmanship.
Really nice work!! I like how you explain the steps. Easy to follow, thanks to you i started making coin rings thanks alot.
Wow way cool thanks!
The bell is cool ,but the music is not cool , hitting the mute is Cool !!!
Haha!
Beautiful little Bell.. great idea great craftsmanship you have a great talent.

Had to mute it. Great work.
Outstanding craftsmanship there, from an Englishman to an American, bloody brilliant.
Thank you!
Is this not illegal?
It is legal outside fraudulent intent
Yeah. Changing a $1 bill to a $5. I also read something about how there are laws against selling modified currency (could have been youtube lawyer BS).
Could you clue me in about the tools you're using? What are these dyes and punches actually made for? Or was it all machined specifically to make bells like this?
You just can't sell modified currency as currency. Selling as a bell or ring as A- OK.
I know someone who got in trouble for drilling a hole. In a quarter n made it into a keychain. Its considered defacing us currency
Any shit that gov do not like is illegal. That was a awesome work of art:-)
Please post a list of tooling needed for this process and can they be purchased as a set? Thank you
Very cool item and great craftsmanship as always!!
Thanks I appreciate it!
Dude I have been waiting on a video like this for about 3 years now thank you thank you thank you. awesome work as always. what size punch is the hole sir. and what are you using for handle. thank you in advance

I am from india.this video is suppperr work bell
Fantastic, was wondering if you could help me out with a question ? Will modern coins take on a patina finish and if so where can I find the products , any help would be appreciated , Thanks 🙏🏽
They do but it is just the fire scale from annealing them. There isn't much else that works well.
I think Jax and Rio Grande make patinas that work with silver, copper, brass, and nickel.
I just subscribed and rang the bell. (No pun intended!)
Sweet!
I just made the third bell using two Mexican 20 pesos coins... they are very thick and heavy coins. I now need to make a good clapper and canons... any suggestions? For the first one I used a nickel coin cut and shaped like a cross... but was very hard to do and I do not like the look. I have no dies and do it all with the doming block and ring stretcher.
I just use the center punch and wire.
Great idea! Would make a really nice gift. How about one made from a coin that its year celebrates the anniversary of the Liberty Bell?
That is a great idea!
Me and my six-year-old girl Princess Isabella love watching your videos she loves the build more than I do Great job we both love to own the piece of art Specially when you make the rings out of cons

Just like your mother Trebek!

That is so cute and looks machine made!!! All in the tools being used and the guy behind them!!! Looking forward to the coin tools give away!!! 🤪
страхотно!
Very cool looking bell. I love the fact the whole head shows on the inside of the bell. Well done.
That bell is awesome. It's ideas like this that ad extra enjoyment to the hobby, thanks. So cool.
I agree!
@@CoinRingsfromTheMint the only way to make it better would be to use the Bicentennial half dollars, 1776-1976.
Nicely done! I'm impressed by how little solder flowed through your hole in the top. I expected that to stick out more.
Yeah so did I! Thanks!
I wish you had spoken thru the process .. PICK ME ! Can it be done with a doming block? What solder did u use?
Yeah I have to find a happy medium with the talking :) you can use a doming block. I used a lead free solder.
AT 3:35, what type of metal is that you are using please? Thank you.
Watching you at work just shows me what a person can do if they set their mind to it and it really makes me smile to see a craft men at work post more videos please . I hope you had a great Labor Day weekend. live on dude
Right on thanks! I really appreciate the encouragement.
Awesome idea love the bell. Where did you get the 1/2’’ rounded punch to start the bell?
I just took a 1/2 punch and rounded it off on the bench grinder. You can also use ball bearings or a dap.
Awsome idea!! Subscribed for sure and thanks for sharing. Where can I get the punches and the press you were usin? Thank you
The press is best from harbor freight ant the punches are from jasonsworks.com. I'm going to be uploading an in depth video next week on it.
Nice design and craftsmanship. Be nice to list the tooling used.
I show the dies with the website printed on the side. Basically the rest is standard tools. I will be having a more in depth video coming out soon.
Yeah, I commented sooner than my brain realized I can pause the video and read the info, sorry. Really like the end results and your techniques. Thanks for responding and keep on crafting.
Is there a particular solder type to use? I am having trouble getting my solder to flow into the bell halfs. My solder runs to the bottom of the cup most often. Thanks. Jim Holden
I just use silver solder. An easy would work great.
I've been working with copper and a hammer. Now I need to look into what you are using.
Right on!
Why do you heat up the coin, then rapid-cool it, before bending it? Wouldn't heat-treating it cause it to harden, thus likely to break during the bend phase ?
You are thinking about ferrous metals. Non ferrous metals like silver don't harden when quenched.
@@CoinRingsfromTheMint If that's the case, why quench non-ferrous?
Definitely the coolest artistic expression I’ve ever seen.
Fantastic work.
Awesome bell and I love that you used the punch out from the coin as the striker. Two thumbs up
Thanks!
waw.. great craftmanship ! you sure got quality tools and fine workshop...
Dude. That is one of the coolest things I have seen made from a coin. Thanks for sharing!
You're very welcome!
Love your work. Where do I find the tools?
Awesome bell thanks for sharing...where can I buy one of these??
They will be on my website www.changeyoucanwear.net soon.
That’s a real beauty! Thanks for ALL your helpful videos. Very much appreciated!
Thanks!
what kind of solder did you use? regular electronics solder?
Regular pipe solder.
Finally something different with coins, now that is a very great video and concept can't wait to make one, thanks to you both.
Right on you're welcome!
I enjoy being walked through the process by your videos. Seeing the finished items gives you a very satisfying feeling of excellence. God's blessed you with a gift. Nice work!

Haha thanks!
Can a ring made from a US Nickel (5 cents) be repaired with medium or hard silver solder? Thanks
Sure! Either works
Awesome Video, Edward Rose is the best! AT 1:25 you show a 1/2 domed "punch" Pusher....would a 1/2" die from a dapping set work for this feature?
Yes that would work great. I just didn't have one.
I am always amazed at your craftsmanship, Awesome!
Thanks I appreciate it!
Very nice looking bell. I enjoy your videos and would love one. Thank for sharing
It would be interesting to see more of the device you used to open up the hole more. What is it? (side note, thank heaven for the volume slider!)
awesome..
what the main purpose of that pipe steel thingy you use to bend the coin?
Awesome. Even loved the music ;)
Where does one purchase the dies you used?
Thank you for showing us. I wish I had known about things like this when I was a young woman. So interesting.
That was some awesome work, thanks for showing your process and your a good guy for giving the credit to the beard that originally came up with this.
Haha! Beard recognizes beard :)
For a better proportion, use a third ring, placed between the coins so the bell is longer and you can clean the finished bell in a mixture of wingar and salt to remove the dark patina.
may i ask you the kind of torch you used? is propane enough for half dollars, copper and silver coins?
It's just a regular propane torch I got at lowes. It is all you will need for coin ring or bell making.
thanks a lot for your quick answer, i will give it a try
Wow! Great job! Absolutely brilliant! Would look fantastic on my desk.
Thanks!
Beautiful art. Just discovered you. Will watch more
Cool thanks!
excuse me ，What is the grey black cloth for wiping
It's a polishing cloth
Your work is awesome! You never cease to amaze me!
Thanks!
What is the name of the tool at 2:23?? Thanks
That is a deburring tool
Wow all those tools. I am a handyman from Philippines(I am a browny guy not Filipino also). I loved your video Sir and also nice Music too. Keep up the good work.
Right on thanks!
Great little liberty bell do we stand a chance in GB ?
You know it! I ship to the UK all the time:)
may i ask you what punch size did you used to make the hole in the first coin?
I used a 1/2" punch.
thanks, big fan of your work.
Love people with such a vision...to make beautiful things...I will love to own one of those bells
I would love to have that bell! I already made a ring following your tutorial and it came out pretty nice!
Sweet! Thanks for the comment.
What type/brand of solder are you using? Thanks
Cool video. Do you have more of different things you can make?
I have a few other ideas that I'm going to be trying out here soon.
Excellent work as always. Fantastic piece!
Thank you!
What a cool project I loved the soldering technique and the music thank you for your videos
I love the bell.. as a veteran would love to own or make that ... were the coins silver?
Thanks! These were not silver but you could easily do the same thing with silver ones. I'll probably do a Morgan dollar bell video eventually.
Great to see something other than rings being made from coins. Good video. Keep it up.
Thanks, will do!
Very well done bud. They do look real nice and worth the effort...keep up the good work.
Thanks!
I have been wondering how to do this. Thanks.
No problem!
Hi what size is it on the swedish wrap you are using?
what gauge of solder and should it be electric solder I'm using fine electrical solder 60/40
Would it be possible to make half dollar gauges?
I don't see why not!
@@CoinRingsfromTheMint if you could do a video on that, that would be amazing. The only trick I could see is rolling the edge around to meet the ear and it being tight enough to stay in the ear.. And I'm sure it would be a great seller. I thought about doing Indian head nickels.. Or maybe a mercury dime for a smaller gauge.
I have two Canadian silver dollars I would like to do this with. Unfortunately I don't have those tools you are using.
I just want to say- I love 💕 bells! Nicely done ✅
Thanks!
