1881-S Morgan Silver Dollar 12,760,000 Minted at the San Fransisco Mint
History of the Morgan Dollar
The designer of this coin was George T. Morgan, this coin came to be called "The Morgan Dollar," it was first minted in 1878. Morgan made several studies of Greek profiles, and searched for an American girl to represent the Goddess of Liberty on his silver dollar. Thomas Eakins introduced him to Miss Anna Williams, a schoolteacher. Morgan asked her to pose, and at first, she was reluctant. No respectable lady in those days would model for an artist back then! She insisted on strict secrecy, fearing she would lose her job if the truth got out. Williams sat for Morgan five times, supposedly at Mr. Eakins' home. And by early 1877, George T. Morgan had created the new design that would come to be known as the Morgan dollar. Some years later, a newspaper reporter discovered the identity of Morgan's Liberty and over protests, printed the story. Williams, as she feared, lost her teaching job!
