1921, Morgan Silver Dollar

The U.S. Morgan Silver Dollar coins were minted from 1878 through 1904 and again in 1921. The Morgan Dollar is named after George T. Morgan, who designed both sides of the coin. The Morgan obverse portrays Miss Liberty facing left, modeled by Anna Willess Williams, a teacher. The reverse depicts an eagle with seven tail feathers, but the original design had eight feathers and was changed during 1878, making variations of the tail feathers: seven, eight and seven-over-eight for that year. The coins’ composition is 90% silver and 10% copper. It has a 38.1 diameter and weights 26.73 grams.

1917, Standing Liberty Quarter

The Standing Liberty quarter was designed by Hermon A. MacNeil, who had won a competition to be the designer of the quarter. The obverse shows the front of Liberty with an olive branch in her right hand symbolizing peace and a shield in her left hand for protection. There are two varieties, Type 1 from 1916-17 “bare breast” and Type 2 from 1917-30, where the breast was covered with a chain mail. The reverse shows an American Eagle in flight. There were no Standing Liberty coins struck during 1922. The coins were struck at the Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Denver mints.
