Comment

This stunning commemorative is a privately issued Gold Proof George T. Morgan 1876 $100 Union and is struck from 1/10 Troy oz. of .999 fine gold, based on a never minted design by Morgan. This design for George T. Morgan's proposed 1876 $100 Union was discovered during the summer of 2006 in a book of Morgan's sketches at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History in Washington.

The design shows a capped Liberty seated, facing right who represents commerce. She holds an olive branch in her left hand and a scepter in the right, with stalks of wheat to her right that are wrapped in ribbon. In the background there is a sailing ship coming into a harbor with mountains behind it. The coin weighs 1/10 of an ounce and is made of .999 gold.

Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) reviewed this stunning 2016 Private Issue 1/10 oz. Gold George T. Morgan 1876 $100 Union GEM Proof and designated it Ultra Cameo. An Ultra Cameo GEM Proof will exhibit exceptional quality and contrast between the frosted elements and highly polished mirrored fields.

This 2016 United States Smithsonian - George T. Morgan Proposed $100 Union Design 1/10 oz Gold Proof Medal NGC GEM Proof is proudly minted by the Sunshine Minting.
