I used a stationary grinder wheel and a pair of vise grips (with felt padding) to whittle down the edge of mine to fit my expanded ]. Took about 2 minutes and fits like a glove!

Makes for a good effect if you use a shimmed ] and a PK ring too... presto, chango!

Could you grind it down very carefully with a dremmel tool? I have a cordless that I use to buff polish on all my shineables it came with grinders and sandpaper attachments. I have enough extra english pennies to mess with.


I am sure you could with a bit of patience, but the coin will probably get HOT, so be careful. When I do mine, I start with the sharpening stone, and then when it's about the right size, I use the 7 way buffer until it's smooth.

A lathe with proper attachment works well.

If I could just afford a lathe, and learn to use one - I would go into the coin Gaff buisness. But Im broke so oh well
