button question coastal KM

These coastal buttons are usually painted in a light olive (tan) color, but I've also seen them in field gray. The back ground is pebbled (behind the anchor) like a WH button and these have no rope border. Golden KM buttons (for see-going personel) have a horizontal striped back ground and rope design around the button... So repainting golden buttons is not going to work... if you're thinking about cheating a little... Hope this explanation helps...I can't post pictures to show the exact diffirence but other members might be able to! Nick

Ok thanks Nick for these explanations
