How Form 8655 Quarterly 2024

Hey Skylar here from the "Mid Change You Can Wear," and today we're going to be making a ring out of these. A Morgan Silver Dollar and an old Canadian large cent. This is going to be an exciting video. We're using new tools today and completely new techniques. Also, later in the video, we're going to be announcing the winner of the giveaway from last week. Alright, let's get right to it. First, we need to cut a hole in these coins so we can start making the rings. I'm going to cut a 3/4 inch hole in the Morgan dollar for a thinner band. The Canadian large cent is perfect for a 9/16 inch hole. This will ensure that the design on the coins will be perfectly even on the ring. We're using Jason's Works Auto punch for this. After cutting the hole, we need to deburr the cut and sand it with 220 grit sandpaper to get rid of any marks. Now, we need to anneal or soften the coins by heating them up with a torch and then quenching them. This process won't harden non-ferrous metals like silver and copper. Once the coins are softened, we can start folding them into ring shapes. We'll start with the Morgan dollar and use a 1.5-inch die to size it correctly. The detail on the inside of the ring will be protected by using a non-steel folding comb. Once the initial folding is done, we'll use Swedish wrap dies to further reduce the size of the coins. We'll pick the largest die and use a Ross coin ring push follower to press it down. This process is called Swedish wrap because it shrinks the coin down to a smaller size. After pressing it, we'll remove the tape and the coin will have significantly...
