Fenton's Coin Dot is distinctive for its large dots, either stippled or plain. A fairly common pattern rarely selling for much except in red. A similar pattern, with smooth dots only, is generally thought to be Westmoreland's Pearly Dots. Coin Dot is sometimes mistakenly listed as Coin Spot, a Dugan pattern found only in compotes. Coin Dot is found on eBay in common colors.

In 2018, King Hoppel sent me the following photos with this explanation: Not that anyone will care, but when I lined up three Fenton Coin Dot Rose Bowls, I noticed that each had a slight variation to the dots in the center, aside from some being smooth and others stippled. The footed bowl (marigold) has a center dot surrounded by 6 dots, the green bowl has the same arrangement but with an additional 6 dots outside of the first ring. The purple stippled dot version has 7 dots in the first ring around the central dot.
