George T. Morgan

George T. Morgan (1845– February 1925) Born in Birmingham, England, Morgan studied in England, and worked for many years as a die engraver at Messrs. J.S. & A.B. Wyon. Morgan came to the United States from England in 1876 and was hired as an assistant engraver at the Mint in October of that year under William Barber. He figured very prominently in the production of pattern coins from 1877 onward. Morgan designed several varieties of 1877 half dollars, the 1879 "Schoolgirl" dollar, and the 1882 "Shield Earring" coins. Eventually, Morgan took the role of seventh Chief Engraver following the death of Charles E. Barber in February of 1917. Morgan is most famous for designing the Morgan Dollar, one of many namesakes.
