    Look in Renaissance of American Coinage 1909-1915 on page 217 for a photo of John Bell’s sculpture “America.”(There is another female figure out of view on the other side.)

    She's on the other side, behind America.

    Nudity was OK if you were an allegorical figure or classical - like MacNeil's Liberty on the quarter. Modern folks are the ones with the "problem."
