Turns out in addition to Ms. Morgan and Ms. Peace, the Mercury Dime model was a real lady as well. But apparently nobody knows for sure. Most likely Elsie Viola Kochel or Audrey Munson.

So we have been more politically correct than we knew. Sure, they didn’t get their individual names on the coins. All the various Miss Liberty plus of course the Morgan and Peace dollars.

I wonder about the Mercury dime though, that one could go either way.

MacArthur gets to be worth $5 on gold while Eisenhower is only worth 50 cents in silver. Ike has to share his space with another dude.

You can see how things are prioritized in Washington these days. One Alice is worth ten Chesters or twenty Eisenhowers.
