<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 1314858, member: 24633&quot;]It was generally known that there was no love lost between Chief Engraver Barber and his subordinate, Morgan, and the competition between them for providing design specimens for the new silver dollar widened the rift when Morgan&#039;s design was chosen over Barber&#039;s. I don&#039;t know if you&#039;ve ever seen photos of Barber&#039;s final design, but it was downright ugly.</p><p><br /></p><p>No, I didn&#039;t say that I thought it was a beautiful coin, but I do love most of the allegorical designs (including those you mentioned) because they are, in my opinion, thought-provoking and far superior to dead presidents (and emperors!). You don&#039;t have to worry, Chris, I don&#039;t collect ancients.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
