If you wear the ring daily, how long does that antiqued finish last? Do you just need to clean it up periodically with the jewelry wipes or go through that whole process ever so often? I'm looking to buy a size 9 Morgan from you, but can't find any pics of what that would look like. Thanks and good job.
+Zack Moore It really depends. The antiwlque can last for months normally. After that just use the jeweler cloths to keep them looking nice. The rings look about the same in all sizes anymore. The Swedish wrap has allowed them to come out that way.
Is there something that could be done during the annealing that could protect the silver from oxidation? I once saw a guy working on a brass gear for a clock he was making, and he used some kind of paste when he heated that gear up. Can’t remember specifically what it was or why he used it thought though. Wondering if that had something to do with anti oxidation.
+Hugh Jafro Yes thete is something but I can't remember what it's called. I don't mind the oxidation though. It is really easy to get rid of by cleaning it in a pickle at the end of the process.
OK thx for the quick reply I will do that I'm going there in couple days I will have them size it for me . I have never worn rings before maybe a ring candy pop lol that's it i watched your videos and now I really want one u do really nice work ! I will be getting ahold of ya soon thx again for quick reply..
+papajoe529 i wouldn't uses sealant because when it chips off, it will look terrible. I just leave the non silver coins black from annealing for the patina.
at home we use bicarbonate on aluminum foil and place whatever silver and jewelry we want to clean and pour boiling water to cover. a minute later its all clean and almost polished. try it out and see what you think. :)
I use the Harbor Fright punch & die set and slip a thin sheet metal template with a " V " cut to position the coin. It will knock out 10 coins in under 10 min. I just don't have a strecher like your's. Do you think a Rathburn style for under $20 will work untill i can afford a good one ?
That is a good idea to harden the handle first! I am going to have to try that next time I buy one (which I hope isn't soon lol). I have heard that those Rayburn stretchers are great for a door stop :)
Very nice... what could you do with an Aussie 50c coint? Its large and is a decagon. Might be interesting. And the Aussie $1 coint is gold and may look nice.
I have done those before. They turn out really nice! I don't do the $1 gold coins because they mix aluminum with them and they melt easily. Thanks! Skyler
Hello I was wondering were you would buy the liver and the acid? Doe's hobby lobby carry these item's? Thx so much and I watch your vid's alot and I rely on your info on how to make my rings> I started just a week ago and broke a few non-silver coins and today I will be useing silver. Thx so much for all you info, it has helped me come alot farther. I watch several ppl I didn't want the other's to think I didn't watch there's. So thx to all that have and still make vids.Michael
I get my liver of sulphur at a craft store, so hobby lobby might have it. There isn't one near me though. If not, you can get it on Amazon. A one ounce container goes a long way. Thanks and good luck with the silver. I was nervous when I did my first silver coin.
For pickling You can just use sulphuric acid, which you can buy at a hardware store sold as drain cleaner. Also dry acid sodium bisulphate . You can get that at a pool store. For patina you can also use lime sulphur concentrate . Find this in the garden centre . These are way cheaper and work exactly the same .
Hey friend just thought of something, I am a gunsmith and i do alot of reblueing to alot of weapons, Do you think the blueing I use on the weapons will work on a silver coin? I guess i can try it on a old junk coin and let everyone know if it work's? If it doe's i will try to do a lil vid so all can see it. Thx Michael and sry to bother you with stupid ?'s
No worries at all. That is a great idea. It doesn't work on silver but I did use it with non silver for a while. I am no gunsmith but I do refinish and fix my guns from time to time :)
+Ryan Ramirez There is something called nickel pickle that works much better for the clad. I just polish them up with steel wool or a nail sanding block. That is the easiest solution.
hey man love your rings I'm really interested in the Morgan silver from late 1800s I went to your page and seen it I wanna buy one but I have no idea what my ring size is any ideas
+ismundo campos I really don't like that stuff. Liver of sulphur lasts much longer. I wish the black max worked better because it is really easy to apply!
Yes I reuse the Sparex over and over. The liver of sulphur I only use once. Jason Works reuses his by heating the coin and dropping it in the liver of sulphur. That is also an option.
Thx for the reply my friend, and keep up the good vids. How bout a vid on kids rings been slammed with request from parent's at my kids schools. I di send Fencekid a request like the one i just asked you about so if you 2 want to work on it together in am sure it will be out of this world with both of your heads workin on it. Thx for all you do for all of us. Michael
and the sparex, would you recommend that for cleaning all kinds of silver jewelry? I use the baking soda/salt & aluminum foil & boiling water method but it isnt that great for really tarnished silver
that steel wool has always been called "4 OUGHT" or 1 ought ,or whatever number it is,, it's funny how over the years people change the names of things because they don't know what it is.....................................JS*
Where would i find that also made my first state quarter used 000 steel wool looks really nice wore it to work and my finger is green and the inside of the coin looks horrible.....HELP????

Great tutorial...Would you every use a sealant after you've polished it???? Also, how could I patina a clad coin? Thanks....
+papajoe529 i wouldn't uses sealant because when it chips off, it will look terrible. I just leave the non silver coins black from annealing for the patina.

Thanks for the tip! I will give it a try.
I wish i had watched your video's when i started making coin rings. So much easier than wearing out my hammer and my ARM.
Thanks
Thanks. I know what you mean, I have a big pile of used up mallets and a much stronger right arm than my left lol.
I use the Harbor Fright punch & die set and slip a thin sheet metal template with a
" V " cut to position the coin. It will knock out 10 coins in under 10 min. I just don't have a strecher like your's. Do you think a Rathburn style for under $20 will work untill i can afford a good one ?
I have heard that they are no good but I haven't had the chance to use one personally
Coin Rings from The Mint - Change You Can Wear Thanks
That is a good idea to harden the handle first! I am going to have to try that next time I buy one (which I hope isn't soon lol). I have heard that those Rayburn stretchers are great for a door stop :)
Baking soda and aluminium foil will clean silver super quick also.
What can I do to keep it from turring my finger black?? Thanks
Wow, dude, love your channel!!
+J. B.J. Right on thanks!
Will the sparex dry acid stuff work on regular clad quarters?
do you do this same thing with the normal half dollar rings the ones that aren't silver
my question as well
Very nice... what could you do with an Aussie 50c coint? Its large and is a decagon. Might be interesting. And the Aussie $1 coint is gold and may look nice.
Actually the 50c coin may be a do decagon.... interesting if it can be worked into a ring though.
I have done those before. They turn out really nice! I don't do the $1 gold coins because they mix aluminum with them and they melt easily. Thanks! Skyler
Can we do this with any quarter or does it have to be a silver one? I know the newer year ones are mostly copper and nickel, same techniques apply?
Yes same technique applies.

I finding difficulties polishing my copper nickel coin rings with the sparex. Do you have any tips or suggestions?
+Ryan Ramirez There is something called nickel pickle that works much better for the clad. I just polish them up with steel wool or a nail sanding block. That is the easiest solution.
Where do you get that stuff? 😇
hey man love your rings I'm really interested in the Morgan silver from late 1800s I went to your page and seen it I wanna buy one but I have no idea what my ring size is any ideas
It would be best to get sized at a jewelry store or even a Walmart. If you wanted an 1800s one, be sure to message me about it as you order.
Thanks!
hi......do you know the black max from rio grande? is faster to apply but last mor than liver sulfur?....thanks
+ismundo campos I really don't like that stuff. Liver of sulphur lasts much longer. I wish the black max worked better because it is really easy to apply!
where do u buy the chemicals
amazing, thankyou for sharing
+Darren Barnes Thanks!
where can i buy one or two ?
Hello sir, the link to the liver of sulphur does not work for me do you have another link?
You can just Google liver of sulphur gel.
Onde encontro estes produtos no Brasil
Sou Brasileiro
can you reuse the solution of sparex and the liver of sulfur?
Yes I reuse the Sparex over and over. The liver of sulphur I only use once. Jason Works reuses his by heating the coin and dropping it in the liver of sulphur. That is also an option.
Thx for the reply my friend, and keep up the good vids. How bout a vid on kids rings been slammed with request from parent's at my kids schools.

@@sp1d3yman24 That is just a non silver quarter. If you want to avoid that, you need to go to silver.
never looked into them though the cost would be prohibiting
