Ah, the faint halo on the 1909 Morgan – a subtle, almost imperceptible glow that many overlook. It shows up as a faint circular pattern, a ghosting from the printing press, and most numismatists say it’s due to a misalignment of the plate during the early minting runs. It’s fascinating to think about using it as an art piece. What angle are you taking – reprinting those coins, or overlaying the halo onto other pieces? I’d love to hear more about your experiment.
