George T. Morgan's famous Liberty Head design previously believed to have been modeled after Anna Williams. The arrangement of the motto "E Pluribus Unum" is believed inspired by Morgan's eagle design J1545/P1718 and, per Robert W. Julian, was likely made after June 1877. Morgan's initial "M" is on Liberty's neck. Only 5 examples are known as follows: To see images of all of these, click here. 1) Empire Topics #3, Cox-Stacks 4/62, Smithsonian (246796.0005).
