This J1554 was Barbers proposed design for the new dollar coin in 1878. The obverse is a slightly modified version of his Half Union obverse from the previous year. Of course Morgans design was the eventual winner but the playing field was not very level when you consider that mint director Linderman personally imported Morgan from England in 1876.
