A Size 7 1/2 Walking Liberty...

Got a LOUD high tone on the Manticore as I was about 5 steps away from leaving the beach on Friday.  I scooped it up even before looking at 2D line or the TDI numbers.  Just thought it was another fresh dropped quarter.  But that "clanking" in the scoop told me otherwise.  LOL  I suspected that it was a coin ring but had to wait until I got home and under the loupe.  The 1937 date is faint but still readable especially with the loupe.  The inside of the ring has a lot of great detail to it.  One side has the reeded edge although it is worn down quite a bit.  

I can only speculate whether the ring belonged to someone's parent, grandparent or just a random ring made from a 1937 Walker.   

Thanks for looking!!!

Nice score on the ring! I found one last year that was from an 1887 silver dollar. I wonder how many people have found a coin ring?

I remember seeing a few rings that were made from old silver coins that my grandfather showed me. I know it took them a lot of work to make the ring.

Great find and wish you more luck on your next hunt.

Congrats on that awesome find Joe. A coin ring is still on my bucket list.
