Additional Information: The item is a size 12 ring handcrafted from a 1942 United States quarter, formed by reshaping the silver coin into a wearable band while preserving portions of the original coin. The ring exhibits the distinctive appearance and character associated with coin silver jewelry, including visible aged patina reflective of the original circulated quarter. Crafted from a coin struck during the era when U.S. quarters contained 90% silver content, the piece combines historical numismatic material with artisan metalworking. Surface wear and irregularities are present consistent with age, handling, and the fabrication process.
