Tom Black Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 In the recent IM catalog mentioned that Phil Pfister can “pass a U.S. quarter through his wedding ring.” I realized that this was another way to indicate hand/finger size. Even better would be actually knowing your finger size and posting it, but the coin through the ring will have to do for now. The poll is for US coins only, if someone wants they can start one for other coins, but I don’t know where they compare in terms of size to US. I put in two choices for penny because I'm guessing a lot of people will be in that category. Also, I’m not sure if a Susan B. Anthony dollar is bigger than a quarter, less than a 50-cent so I left it out. The poll is for “ring-fingers,” next to the pinky. I can only get a penny through (easily) but I am real close to a nickel, which I probably could get through a ring made for my middle finger.

RSW Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 (edited) 11-1/2. Just misses a nickel, but my wife's size 7 ring fits through my wedding band. Robert Edited December 11, 2002 by RSW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruffhans Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 I was able to get a "ruff" nickle through my "ruff" ring with "ruff' room to spare on my "ruffans"!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Black Posted December 11, 2002 Author Share Posted December 11, 2002 Here’s a ring finger chart (thanks to Roark): http://www.diamondhub.com/ring.htm Here are the coins measurements (with a micrometer, accurate to 1/1000”): Dime= .705 Inches, 17.907 mm Penny= .75 Inches , 19.05 mm Nickel= .838 Inches, 21.285 mm Quarter= 0.955 Inches, 24.257 mm A size 12 would fit through a nickel 11.5 does not, as Robert and I noted (I think that’s my size too). Hey, what’s with you guys not having any coins? Maybe we should start a fund? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amaury Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 Tom, Here are the coins measurements (with a micrometer, accurate to 1/1000”):Dime= .705 Inches, 17.907 mm Penny= .75 Inches , 19.05 mm Nickel= .838 Inches, 21.285 mm Quarter= 0.955 Inches, 24.257 mm you're nuts... But we are all nuts My finger's diameter is 18mm so i suppose a dime would do the trick ! But hey i'm not a little guy :ninja : 5"11 and 8.3" hands !?

Adam Black Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 I was pretty amazed when I read the Phil could pass a US quarter through his ring. I know that he is a big guy with big hands. But having never met him it really put his hand size into perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Black Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 (edited) Oh yeah, I was one of the many who could pass only a penny through my wedding band. With room to spare. Pretty close to a nickel. If I recall correctly my ring is an 11. Edit was typo correction. Edited December 11, 2002 by Adam Black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 My ring finger is 1/8'' bigger than the circumference of a US quarter. My fingers are way thicker than they were a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat 74 Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 I wear a 13, so not very large fingers..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Beatty Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 Phil & Big Tony Scrivens have the same ring size. We were comapring them at breakfast before the American Hercules in 2001. Both men wear a SIZE 20! We could drop my comfort fit (thicker band) size 13 1/4 through their rings. Phil's hands are much longer than Tony's. Tony's are about 8 1/2" & very thick, Phil's are probably an inch longer than Tony's. Hence Phil's nickname "Penis Fingers". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 I have no idea what 3 1/4" circumference translates to in ring size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terminator Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 Hence Phil's nickname "Penis Fingers". Kinda makes lunch at Kentucky Fried Chicken outta the question..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gripper42004 Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 I think my ring finger is only an 8 I have skinny fingers,....But I know that when it comes 2 strength size does not matter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom of Iowa2 Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 I have a size 13.5 ring and Josh wears a size 16.We both weigh around 260 but i am taller.My fingers are getting bigger as i gain weight and add grip work....a little anyway. I know- I'm the redundant guy(redundant,redundant)but as John said Phil and Tonys hands are amazing....Tony's are much wider than Phils though.I've met several 7 footers(we had a member that was 7'2" awhile back and we have a guy whos 6'8"and they don't have hands like Phils or Tonys) John I think Tony's are a shde longer than 8 1/2...??as usual I can't find the pics of Tonys hands but they are in the grip gallery next to a measuring tape .

Jonathan McMillan Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 I don't wear a ring but I tried on a ring from a key chain and it fit the way a ring would which was a shock to me as it left room for a penny and change I would have thought I would measure in the dime section. Neat comparison! Jon@han Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
