English engraver George T. Morgan is the designer of the Morgan Silver Dollars. He was just 30 years old and already a highly acclaimed engraver working for the British Royal Mint when he was hired for the job of designing the Morgan dollar. He was absorbed into the Philadelphia Mint and was given the position of assistant to Chief Engraver, William Barber. The huge quantity of silver yielded by the Comstock Lode in Nevada led to the birth of the Morgan dollar. These coins are one of the most popular US coin series. They were minted at five different facilities, and in total there are 96 different date and mint combinations. These coins were minted from 1878-1904 and for one last time in 1921. Over half a billion coins were struck from just 1878-1904. Since there was a surplus of these coins, huge stockpiles of these coins had sat in the Treasury vaults and in the nationwide bank vaults. However, the Pittman Act culminated in over 270,000,000 coins being melted to support the war effort against WWI. After that, the Peace Silver Dollar was created to replace the lost silver dollar coins.

The Morgan dollar's design was made by George T Morgan who illustrated Lady Liberty on the obverse. She faces the left while wearing a Liberty Cap with the word “LIBERTY” inscribed on the ribbon. Her hair is decorated with two cotton blossoms and two heads of wheat to depict the agricultural heritage of America.

The Morgan dollar reverse features a realistic bald eagle with its wings spread wide. It holds arrows in one talon and an olive branch in the other to depict America’s preparedness and desire for peace. It is half-surrounded by a cereal wreath.
