Rings

Re: Rings
We used to make them in Jr. High School when quarters were still silver.
A quarter and using a spoon to tap on it yielded a ring.

Re: Rings
I gather you don't mean a soup spoon. Do you still have the rings?

Re: Rings
This subject rings with me too. I inherited a similar ring from my father. He wore it (when possible) from the 1940's through other service until he died. He told me how he made it about 30 years ago but he made it when he was as young as his great grandchildren now.

I actually used the bottom side of a machinist jack and a ball peen hammer in my press to turn the coin, and then a flat slug to get it to curve and reduce the size. Worked great!
