These rings start as silver Barber quarters that I hand forge into rings. They are never melted or cut and always make a good first impression! They can be made in size 5-9 including half sizes. These coins were made from 1892-1916 but I can rarely get any from the 1800’s. I always choose coin quality over the date but always try to get the older dates if I can though. I don’t normally do special dates, but if you need one check with me first to check for availability. You can’t find a more unique beautiful ring to wear anywhere else (unless of course you look at my other listings!). Wear a piece of re-purposed history today From The Mint- change you can wear!

Description

Barber Quarter History

The Barber coinage consisted of a dime, quarter, and half dollar designed by United States Bureau of the Mint Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber. They were minted between 1892 and 1916, though no half dollars were struck in the final year of the series.

By the late 1880s, there were increasing calls for the replacement of the Seated Liberty design, used since the 1830s on most denominations of silver coins. In 1891, Mint Director Edward O. Leech, having been authorized by Congress to approve coin redesigns, ordered a competition, seeking a new look for the silver coins. As only the winner would receive a cash prize, invited artists refused to participate and no entry from the general public proved suitable. Leech instructed Barber to prepare new designs for the dime, quarter, and half dollar, and after the chief engraver made changes to secure Leech’s endorsement, they were approved by President Benjamin Harrison in November 1891. Striking of the new coins began the following January.
Public and artistic opinion of the new pieces was, and remains, mixed. In 1915, Mint officials began plans to replace them, after the design’s minimum term expired in 1916. The Mint issued Barber dimes and quarters in 1916 to meet commercial demand, but before the end of the year, the Mercury dime, Standing Liberty quarter, and Walking Liberty half dollar had begun production.

Franklin Half Dollar Coin Ring – 90% silver
$125.00

These rings start as silver Franklin half dollars that I hand forge into rings. They are never melted or cut and always make a good first impression! Rings will look slightly different depending on the size you choose. Rings from size 8-9 1/2 will have a slight curve to them. The picture of the 1963 half dollar (Picture 4,5, and 6) is a size 8 and is the most curved. Every size larger is less curved. The 1954 half dollar (Picture 1, 2, and 3) is a size 10 and they look pretty much the same up through size 12 1/2. The picture of the 1951 half dollar (Pictures 7, 8, and 9) is what they look like from size 13-14. You can’t find a more unique beautiful ring to wear anywhere else (unless of course you look at my other items!). Wear a piece of re-purposed history today From The Mint- change you can wear!
