History

Prior to his move to the United States, George T. Morgan worked at the Royal Mint of England. He was quite respected there, but eventually relocated to the U.S. to further his career. Hired by the U.S. Mint as assistant engraver under William Barber, Morgan set to work on a new Silver Dollar design. The coin was first struck in March of 1878 and was soon mass-produced across the nation. Morgans legacy was sealed and in 1917 he was promoted as the mints 7^th Chief Engraver.
