Williams on the obverse (AkA liberty).&nbsp; This one below has the strongest look of her portrat. <img src="http://www.usacoinbook.com/image/w600-h600/us-coins/morgan-schoolgirl-dollar.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.usacoinbook.com/encyclopedia/coin-designers/george-t-morgan/anna-williams-morgan-dollar.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>They were all being considered to replace the seated series.&nbsp; Apparently the Barbers and Morgan had a feud of sorts dubbed by some as the &quot;pattern war&quot;&nbsp; for the replacement of the seated series.&nbsp; William Barber being the Chief Engraver of the time had considerable pull as to the bias of his son&#039;s (Charles Barber) designs.&nbsp; Of coarse the dollar ended up with Morgans design and Charles barber ended with his design on the Nickle first starting in 1883 and then the dime, quarter and half starting in 1982.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways the pattern designs of Morgan have a wonderful place in history and it is interesting to see what might have been on our currency.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
