Original sketches found at the Smithsonian


Imagine that you were examining artifacts in the Smithsonian Institution
and you found a never-seen-before sketch for the largest and highest
denomination American coin ever proposed.
That’s precisely what happened when a coin expert was exploring the
collection at this celebrated public institution not long ago.

To his own surprise, the numismatist found the original-design concept
for a one hundred dollar denomination created by George T. Morgan,
arguably the greatest American coin designer. These sketches, hidden
within an original sketchbook for nearly a century, represent perhaps
the grandest American coin ever proposed—the $100 Union®.
George T. Morgan will always be remembered for his most famous coin, the Morgan Silver Dollar.
Until recently, the world knew nothing of Morgan’s larger and higher denomination $100 Union
concept design. The secret’s out!
