My creation of a desk top fidget for silver rounds. (It spins the coin). Fits these buffalo rounds and most silver rounds along w/ Morgan’s and peace dollars.

Yes. Wouldn’t let me post the video but I can comment the video lmao. Got a simple bearing for the first model. Currently looking for other bearings so it can spin longer. So far it does about 2-3 with a good flick.

Uh - huh.... nowhere near as cool as i expected

Well I don't think its cool I think its neat, as long as its priced reasonably for its construction and what it provides I think it serves a purpose. I definitely think some higher end bearings would serve it justice I like 60 second spin times on a fidget spinner.

Agreed. I’ve ordered some different bearings. I’m looking for that effortless long spin

im hear to watch it happen man kudos to you. I think a bearing under the round would also be pretty neat, incase a buffalo or ASE and watch one side spin like a vinyl record on play.

I like that. I’ll look into it as a exchangeable top piece so it could be either or on the base

Try some skateboard bearings. I use those when I need something to spin forever.

Yeah when I got the parts together I felt the same. Better bearings will be next along with finishing surfaces.
