Here's a mix of coins I've domed and they're now ready to have backs soldered to them, either a button loop back, chicago screw back, or rived post back.

~^~ HOME MADE CONHCOS ~^~

Polishing--> Doming --> Soldering --> Finish

I'm thinking of putting a tutorial together on how you can make your own coin conchos.

It's pretty easy, It's fairly cheap, It's mo' better.

Adorments should be the one area where creativity and imaginative designs flourish. And yet Conchos have always been an underserved segment in my opinion (ditto buckles -excep: Ohio Bag)

  • Selection - narrow breadth
  • New Designs - few and slow
  • Quality - low-to-poor (some exceptions)
  • Price - high-to-ridiculous (some exceptions)

If you already own soldering iron and soldering suppllies, your setup cost would just be the doming block set (Harbor Freight $50). If you're starting from scratch $100- $150 depending how much you spend on the solderinig iron $25 - $75,
