For being an assistant engraver, George T. Morgan was so talented that he got a coin named after him. George T. Morgan started his engraving career in England and made his way into the US Mint in 1876. There, he worked under the Chief engraver, William Barber, being his assistant engraver. Barber is known for the infamous currency such as the barber quarter, the barber dime, the barber half dollar, etc. After nearly 40 years as assistant engraver, Morgan finally earned the title, Chief engraver, once Barber passed in 1917. Your 1901-O Morgan is considered to be brilliant uncirculated and contains a luster that should shine from edge to edge. The mint mark "O" is underneath the eagle, on the reverse, and it represents the New Orleans branch of the US Mint. To protect your BU Morgan, we package all our coins in coin flips to ensure their protection during travel.
