- Description
- This pattern by designer George T. Morgan essentially turned his earlier concepts around, with Liberty and the national bird both facing in the opposite direction to their positions on the pattern dollar of 1879. Liberty wears an earring (rather cleverly made into the federal shield). About a dozen including this one of these pattern dollars are known. Morgan created a very similar half dollar, and a very similar quarter dollar, that same year. [reference no. Judd 1702]
