Morgan DESCRIPTION ANALYSIS Groundbreaking Liberty Design by George T. Morgan George T. Morgan, who lends his name to this coin, designed both of its faces. On the obverse is his left-side portrait of Liberty. This series is significant because that portrait represented the first time that Liberty was depicted as an American figure rather than a Greek one. She is shown with long, curly hair that is partially covered by a Phrygian cap. Also on her head are a ribbon that bears an inscription of her name and a crown made from two important American crops, cotton and wheat. On the reverse is an eagle, which has long been a national symbol. It holds arrows and an olive branch in its talons. Between its upstretched wings is the national motto, "IN GOD WE TRUST." Uncirculated MS63 This coin received a grade of Mint State 63 from the experts at the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation.
