I'm trying to save coins needlessly being turned into rings.

Albeit the rings look good, he's using dated coins when dateless coins will do. They just need to be detailed enough around the edges though. If anyone has dateless coins 1936 25 and 50 Cents pieces and older please let me know. Would pay melt value based on the specifications Weight vs actual weight...ideally located somewhere I can physically pick them up.

Thanks.

Lol what's worse is I think he enjoys that it bugs me. I have some I offered to trade but the outer portion of the reverse isn't as good so he won't. But offered to buy mine...smh

Just an opinion, but I would think in a lot of instances it is the date that sells the ring... from birth year or about any special occasion?

No, the press he uses just shows the outside edge of the coin. That's why he likes the older coins.

@doub, it seems like your thread might be best located in the want list subforum, although I think that your focus is on preventing Canadian coins from being turned into rings. I'm going to move it there to see if you get any bites.

Ok Spence, I thought about it there also but wasn't sure what was best.
