Temu is definitely your problem. They are fake and they means it’s cast. You can’t fold a cast coin. They have to be a real coin that has been extruded and struck to get the metal grain pattern that will allow it to fold.

@@CoinRingsfromTheMint Thought so and I thank you for getting back to me so quickly. Ed

Right on!

Thanks!

It’s not illegal to alter a coin without fraudulent intent

It’s a jewelry carving wax. I get it at Rio grande.

Thanks! I’ve been meaning to make this video for a while. I don’t think they are getting more popular really. I personally really like them and because of that, my enthusiasm for them wears off when I’m designing with people :)

@@CoinRingsfromTheMint Very cool! Love everything you make and your work continues to fascinate me.

Nope I make them all the time! I’m going to use them all if I can :)

@@CoinRingsfromTheMintI mean I get your side of things, but as a flat business sense you’re losing money destroying that. Even the worst coin with a CC mark is worth many many of your rings. Sell those & buy common dates dude. If for nothing else out of respect for the coin collectors that hunt those for years. There’s all kinds with plenty stock to do this without literally ruining what’s already one of the grails of coins. I’m not knocking your grind at all, but this is just being an ass. A cc coin doesn’t make any better of a ring than a P, D or S that’s not a key date coin.

@@CornPopsDood I appreciate your respect, but you have to understand people want those rare coins as rings. And they are charged for the coin. It’s just silver to me, it all bends the same and has added provenance.

Yep! I find myself leaving it and losing it and now I have it all the time I’m never searching for it when I’m sharpening gravers :)

Thanks JT! You should carve one and send it to me to cast for you!!

Thank you! I’ll keep it coming :)

Thanks! I’ve noticed it gets noticed a lot when I’m wearing it.

Thank you! 😊

Thanks I appreciate it! I totally agree too. A well matched halo really adds to the center stone.

I made a tool list video a few years ago. Check out my older videos and you’ll see it.

I’m in my early 40s :)

Wow that’s a hard mallet! I use a rawhide mallet more. They don’t do that

A drum sander with a dremmel is the best way. I use a big cylinder bur that I got from Rio to start. Then I move to a drum sander attachment

Ive been really loving some of the new projects lately!

I use silver solder wire or sheet. You can get it from Rio grande online

It takes a bit of practice for sure but it’s a lot of fun with the doors a lathe unlocks

Thanks I appreciate that! It is really fun to share :)

Thank you so much!

@@CoinRingsfromTheMint you deserve it, everything you make these days is just stunning! Huge step up from coin rings, not that they weren’t cool haha.

I cut little prongs that get beaded over the stones. Each one has 4 of them.

Many thanks!

I appreciate it!

I appreciate it!

Thanks! I started on my own watching RUclips videos and then got connected with a great jewelry school in Portland

@@CoinRingsfromTheMint awesome! Thanks for the information. Love your vids!

Much appreciated!

That is awesome!

I used to do that when I first started too. But cleaning it with a pickle solution is quicker and not abrasive like a tumbler is.
