How to make a ring from a quarter:
http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Ring-from-a-Silver-Coin
One can get very technical and make rings by smelting metal, pouring it into molds, and all sorts of other highly technical stuff. Which is all very neat, but requires a lot of effort, skill, and tools. The advantage, and coolness, of using a quarter is its simplicity.
I want to do something like that one day.
P.S. While a pre 1964 quarter is probably the cheapest way to get a silver coin, a quick search on the internet will find you a way to purchase a silver round (coin) that is purer than a quarter, and not that expensive. Personally, I’d say if you’re going to go through all the effort you might as well go for the higher expense and get a peice of qualty silver round.
