Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2628575, member: 112"]I agree about the stars. BUT - the entire bust, and most of the reverse design elements, in other words the highest design elements on both sides of the coin, and the rim on both sides which is the highest point on any coin, are covered with the pattern. So that kind of negates your argument. My point in posting the pictures of the textile toning was to indicate that the "pattern" of the textile toning, and the "pattern" of the raised bumps on the coin in question - are the same. In other words, the same kind of cloth, (the canvas bags), that caused the textile toning pattern on the Morgans, was used to create the raised pattern on the half dime. Now given that the technology of textile weaving changed greatly in the 75 years after the half dime was produced, that pattern in canvas didn't even exist in 1805 ! So it could not have happened when the coin was struck. That's the kind of thought my question was supposed to stimulate.[/QUOTE]
