Default Dime ring

Ring made from a dime. I have a 1943 quarter, penny and nickel. I want to compleat the set so I thought I would look up the dime online for some information. Well one of the first things I found was this dime that has been turned into a ring.

Also found out that the 43 dime is a mercury dime. So once I find one it will be doublely (is that even close to being a real word, lol) as nice.

Anyways, here is the link to the ring.

Vintage 1943 Dime Ring - Handcrafted (RINGS - Vintage Antique ) at Glamour n Glitz Vintage Costume Jewelry and Collectibles.

I think it's a word if you take out the "e"

I saw a picture of one of these recently, I thought I saw it on here (TQ), maybe somewhere else though. They are cool and look like they shouldn't be too hard to make.

I have a ring similar to those posted. The ring part is made out of a dime, and then there's a mexican coin for the top. I have been meaning to post pictures of it, and keep forgetting. My mom gave me the ring years ago, but I can't remember where she got it from. I'll post it sometime
