For some time I have been in contact with an artist from the west coast about a project and it is officially ready. He is making for me custom, hand-made coin rings. The rings are absolutely beautiful and he makes them in any coin that is available in any year. If you are a quarter guy, he can make them in any state quarter. He can make them in walking liberties, 1964 kennedys, Morgans, Peace dollars, Franklin halves, you name it, he can do it.

Take a look at some of the pics:

Can attest to the beautiful coin rings Peter speaks of. Have received mine from him using my birth year walking liberty half dollar silver coin. Can be customized using any part of the coin. Personally I like the year and rising sun on the coin to show, which causes immediate interest and becomes an icebreaker for my ring and rubberband or ring and string routines. Of course with a matching coin can quickly be transformed into the ring or vice-versa. Have been looking for the perfect ring for my routines, even posted looking for ring sources not long ago here on the Café. Found it! Do not know Peter, other than emails, nor do I have any affiliation with Peter or his artist. Just trying to guide fellow Magic Café members to a good reasonably priced ring source. Enjoy, John
