<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 437574, member: 5233"]The quick answer to that is no, there were no Morgan gold coins. But, that's not completely true...George Morgan (the designer of the Morgan Dollar) never created a gold coin that circulated. However, he did create several different gold design patterns that were produced but not adopted for circulation. They tend to have similar design features to the Morgan Dollar. Probably the most famous gold he did was the $4 stella gold piece. There are 2 designs for this coin, a Flowing Hair design (created by Charles Barber) and Morgan's Coiled Hair Design.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is an image of the Coiled Hair Stella:</p><p><a href="http://www.coinfacts.com/patterns/1879_patterns/judd_1638.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinfacts.com/patterns/1879_patterns/judd_1638.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinfacts.com/patterns/1879_patterns/judd_1638.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>You'll notice that many of the facial features on the obverse of the Stella are similar to that of a Morgan Dollar. </p><p><br /></p><p>All Morgan gold patterns are very valuable today.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
