MORGAN DOLLAR MODEL MYSTERY

  Another possible numismatic revelation was highlighted
  on the cover of the May 6th, 2002 issue of Coin World.
  The article article is about one of the lots in the George T.
  Morgan consignment  mentioned last week.

  "... the long-held belief that [Anna] Williams was Morgan's
  inspiration for the silver dollar is questioned by the content
  of an undated letter in Whitford's upcoming auction.  The
  letter is from one of Morgan's two daughters..."  The letter
  states, "Father always said no matter how many models
  posed for him, that he never bid any & that he just made
  up the obverse himself..."

  The letter is lot 1130 in the May 10-11 Craig A. Whitford
  Numismatic Auctions sale.
