i bought this coin in an auction on another forum with the intent to make a ring with it. after making numerous rings from clad halves, and a ben franklin ring i had posted previously here, i finished the columbian ring.
I finished the ring and wore it a couple days, and then couldnt get it off of my finger
had to resize it, which meant re annealing it (heating it). then buff it out nice and shiny, then throw it in a ziplock with a smashed up boiled egg for a couple hours.
then i lightly buffed out the high points ,(date, wording and such), with 4 ought steel wool. well now i ask you all....how did i do?
