Dude, you made me laugh sitting on my front porch at 3 am , I have been looking for someone experienced to turn a Silver Eagle Dollar and Walking Liberty Half into smaller size rings, To me this is funny as he'll die to the size of the rings compared to my body size. (110 lbs if I don't go to the bathroom) but my wedding band is wide, retirement band wide, 1 1/2 Pear Diamond earing, Large Silver St.Christopher that looks like he could carry my bony ass across that river! 😆😂 So this is good. Thank You.
Johnny thank you for the video of the making of your largest coin that will be turned into a ring, I have no doubt in my mind the friend I'm giving the ring to will love it, keep doing what your doing job well done, there will be more orders coming your way
Thanks for checking out my video! I know it was brief, perhaps I’ll do a more detailed and complete video on the Silver Eagle. The largest Swedish wrap die I have is 1.4” and it has always got the job done-that’s what I used here. Prior to wrapping, you could try flipping the coin over and pressing the reeded edge down into a reduction die until it fits the Swedish wrap. There’s a lot of room to move on the Eagles before you have to worry about getting to the coin detail. Feel free to email me and we can work it out. Pictures help. coinrings(at)fudella(dot)org
Great question! It's just a permanent marker. I use a Sharpie. Heat just long enough to burn the mark off. It is a good way to prevent overheating and ruining the coin.
Please explain why this won't tarnish like my other silver jewelry? Is it because of the higher silver content? Would assume that it would tarnish easier
Great question! Thanks for commenting. You are correct- it’s because of the higher silver content. This ring is 99.9% silver, also known as “fine silver.” Pure silver does not rust or tarnish under normal conditions- similar to gold (although sulphur may change the surface color). Pure silver is also very soft so other metals are typically added to harden it in most practical applications. Sterling silver used in most jewelry for example, is only 92.5% silver. The remaining is usually copper. It’s the copper or other impurities in silver which cause the tarnishing chemical reactions with the air. Most silver US coins are actually only 90% silver which turns out to be a good blend of strength and precious metal (and a good source for jewelry). While the ring in this video has the benefit of anti-tarnish, it is also incredibly soft and may be damaged with regular wear. As a point of note, while most silver jewelry tarnish is Cu2S, Ag2S does exist. So while I say in this video that “this ring won’t tarnish,” if you go to work in a sulphur mine, you may notice a slight dark tint.
Hi, Johnny. I have but I don’t often. Copper rings leave a green stain on the wearer’s finger but copper is fun to work with and I will work with it if given the opportunity. Do you have a project in mind?
For this one, the customer did supply the coin. Many times a specific coin has special significance to someone so, while I normally locate the coin, I will make a ring from a customer supplied coin.

Thank you, sir! I’d love to hear how it went with your friend!
What size was your Swedish die? After folding my Eagles do not fit inside my largest die.

@@fudscoinrings Thanks for reply! I'll try reducing the reed side. Will reach out if I need more help.
Sage advice at the end.
A great video! What size did it end up being?
Thank you, sir! If I recall, this one ended up somewhere around a 15 or 16.
Please what is the black mark made of for the annealing process.

@@fudscoinrings TYVM for the reply.
