Miss Jones was chosen by President Reagan for the position of Chief
Sculptor-Engraver and her nomination was confirmed by the Senate on

the first woman ever to hold this position.

The Chief Sculptor-Engraver is responsible for providing designs for any
new coin or medal issues of the Mint and for overseeing the many
technical aspects of the minting operations involving dies in relation
to design.

strong background in medallic art and a free and fresh style of design.
