Military Officer - July 2006 - (Page 17) Imagine examining artifacts in the Smithsonian Institution and finding a never-before-seen sketch for the largest and highest denomination American coin ever proposed? That’s just what happened as one coin expert recently explored the collection at this America’s Lost Masterpiece THE $100 UNION™ celebrated public institution. But as this numismatist discovered, it has more to share than he could ever imagine. To his own surprise, he had found the original design concept for a hundred dollar denomination created by George T. Morgan, arguably the greatest American coin designer. These sketches, hidden within an original sketchbook for nearly a century, represent perhaps the grandest American coin ever proposed— the $100 Union. George T. Morgan will always be remembered for his most famous coin—the Morgan silver dollar. Until recently, the world knew nothing of Morgan’s larger sized and higher denomination $100 Union concept design. Imagine what these hefty $100 Unions would be worth if they made their way from Morgan’s sketchbook to U.S coinage! The secret’s out!
