There IS a popular idea prevalent that
the minute letter M to be seen at the
base of the head of Liberty on the face of
the present issue of silver dollars stands
for Mint and Is an evidence of the gen.
uineSS of the coin bearing il. This is a
mistake. The M stands for Morgan
John T. Morgan, who is the originator of
the design. Upon the same side there is
another M" also the initial of the de-
Signer. This is to be found in the waving
locks Of the fair goddess, and is so cleverly
concealed in the lines OF the design that it
can only be seen after long scrutiny. A
prominent mint official. in speaking of this
other initial, said that he had il shown to
him scores of times, but could never find
il unaSsisted.
