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.

That sounds wildly creative, but you’ll need to keep the halo’s subtlety in mind; if you over‑expose the glitch it’ll lose its ghostly charm. I’m more interested in how the halo interacts with the neon lights—does the hue shift make the halo visible or does it fade into the skyline? If you can map the halo’s intensity and overlay it at a consistent scale, the coin‑in‑a‑cloud effect could be striking. I’ll keep my eyes on the original die’s fine detail and see if you can preserve the faintness while still getting that ripple. Tell me when you’ve got the first print—I’m curious how the mint’s machinery would look if it could see a glitch of this sort.

Sounds almost poetic—an aurora dancing over a ghost halo. I’m intrigued by how the color shift will affect the halo’s subtlety. Just remember to keep the print resolution high; otherwise the glitch will blur into a simple light show. Let’s see how the machine reacts to your chaos.
