<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 1030665, member: 57463&quot;]Not to interrupt, but I believe that BLANCH(E) SULLY is the model for the Seated Liberty coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>“ Chief Engraver Christian Gobrecht&#039;s Seated Liberty coins enjoyed an unparalled run of 56 years 1837-1891.&nbsp; The original design was the work of Thomas Sully.&nbsp; Sully&#039;s painting of Washington at the Delaware (1819) show the general looking over his right shoulder, as does the seated Miss Liberty.&nbsp; Also, Miss Liberty herself bears a strong resemblence to Blanche Sully, the painter&#039;s daughter, in a work executed in 1834.&nbsp; Again, she is looking over her right shoulder.&nbsp; Sully&#039;s painting of a seated Liberty served as the model for Christian Gobrecht&#039;s dies.”</p><p>“How to Assemble a Dime Type Set,” <i>The Numismatist</i>, May 2002.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
