Make a silver ring for 25 cents

Step 5 Polish your new ring

I found that the small taps from the spoon gave a nice polished look already. You can use the dremel to clean out any rough areas inside the ring. If you opted for the quick and dirty hammer method you may need to polish the outside of the ring. I suggest several rounds of polishing, coarse --->fine grit.
After that you are done.

How do you make the ones with the 1964 and united states of america on the outside of the ring?

Not possible using this method. The writing will always be on the inside of the ring unless you can somehow tap the ring from the center going out.

lol i looked in our change drawer and i found a bunch of state quarters, and 2 1965 lol but no 64s lol so im making a half silver half copper ring xD

if i use the later dated copper ones (couldn't find any quarters older than my dad D: ) will it have a different visual effect? would you see the copper ring in the center?

Yes, you will have a copper coin with a bit of the silver nickel around the edges. Scroll through the comments, (2nd to last page I think) I posted a pic of a half dollar ring I made from a newer coin.

I enjoy the idea of the spoon! I never would have thought of that.

This is absolutely beautiful. I am definitely going to try this out.
