I suppose. But first, wouldn't you like to play "Guess the Grade"?

That copper's a breath-taker. What's the grade? Mike

The history of the coin is essentially that Morgan was trying to improve on his design of the previous year.

At the same time, Barber was working on designs of his own, including the popular "Washlady".

I really like this design.

So what is the story behind this one? Why didn't it get minted?

& here I thought this was a Adrian wannabe post!

CarlWohlforth · July 25, 2008 9:56AM

Most of those Morgan designs sure make me think he liked "Lots 'O Hair Detail"

These are the patterns that actually look a little like Anna Williams, instead of Mrs. Morgan.

BECOKA · July 25, 2008 10:03AM

Stunningly nice designs.

NHSBaseball · July 25, 2008 10:09AM

Why the traditional Morgan design was chosen over that one is beyond me. The reverse eagle especially is hands down a nicer design that the eagle on the Morgan. Were there striking issues with this design? Does anyone know why it was not adopted?

Awesome coins, MrEureka.

Morgan's young head of Liberty did not exist when the design for the standard dollar was selected. The adopted obverse dates from 1876 and was brought to the US by Morgan in October of that year.
