    I knew a gentleman who used to do this....he is a native american...
    I remember him telling me it was done with a spoon and it was called
    a "10,000 tap" ring. 

    the one that I was shown was BEAUTIFUL. the really skilled craftsmen,
    like the gentleman who showed it to me...could retain the design of
    the coin, though stretched and faint, on the inside of the ring. 
    AMAZING! good luck, it really looked like it showed a great deal of
    patience. 10,000 taps is an awful lot!  ( a hammer, though probably
    prefered may ruin the image on the inside of the ring)
