Kimball">James Kimball</a>. The new director was more receptive to Gilder's ideas and in 1887 announced a competition for new designs for the non-gold coinage. These plans were scuttled when Vermont Senator <a href="/wiki/Justin_Morrill" class="mw-redirect" title="Justin Morrill">Justin Morrill</a> questioned the Mint's authority to produce new designs. The Mint had claimed authority under the <a href="/wiki/Coinage_Act_of_1873" title="Coinage Act of 1873">Coinage Act of 1873</a> in issuing the Morgan dollar in 1878 and the Liberty Head nickel in 1883. Morrill was a supporter of coin redesign and had in the past introduced bills to accomplish this; he felt, however, that this could not be done without an act of Congress. Kimball submitted the issue to government lawyers; they indicated that the Mint lacked the claimed authority. All three men worked to secure a bill to authorize new designs: Morrill by introducing and pressing legislation, Kimball by lobbying for the authority in his annual report, and Gilder by orchestrating favorable coverage. With legislators busy with other matters, it was not until September 26, 1890, that President <a href="/wiki/Benjamin_Harrison" title="Benjamin Harrison">Benjamin Harrison</a> signed legislation making all denominations of U.S. coins available for immediate redesign by the Mint upon obtaining the Secretary of the Treasury's approval. Each coin could thereafter be altered from the 25th year after it was first produced; for example, a coin first struck in 1892 would be eligible for redesign in 1916.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEMoran200845–50_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMoran200845–50-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Inception">Inception</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Barber_coinage&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Inception"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Bosbyshell_medal_crop.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5c/Bosbyshell_medal_crop.jpg/220px-Bosbyshell_medal_crop.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="220" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5c/Bosbyshell_medal_crop.jpg/330px-Bosbyshell_medal_crop.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5c/Bosbyshell_medal_crop.jpg/440px-Bosbyshell_medal_crop.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1113" data-file-height="1113" /></a><figcaption>Philadelphia Mint Superintendent <a href="/wiki/Oliver_Bosbyshell" title="Oliver Bosbyshell">Oliver Bosbyshell</a>, Medal by Assistant Engraver <a href="/wiki/George_T._Morgan" title="George T.

He sought new designs for both sides of the dollar, and for the obverses of the half dollar, quarter, and dime—Leech was content to let the reverses of the Seated Liberty coins continue.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEMoran200859–61_15-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMoran200859–61-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> By law, an eagle had to appear on the quarter and half dollar, but could not appear on the dime.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBureau_of_the_Mint190455_16-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBureau_of_the_Mint190455-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Most of the artists conferred in New York and responded in a joint letter that they would be willing to participate, but not on the terms set.

For the obverse of the new coins, Leech suggested a depiction of Liberty similar to that on the French coins of the period; he was content that the current reverses be continued. Leech had previously suggested to Barber that he engage outside help if the work was to be done at the Mint; the chief engraver replied that he was aware of no one who could be of help in the preparation of new designs.

Due to Gilder's prominence in the coinage redesign movement, Leech felt the need to respond personally, which he did in early August. He told Gilder that "artistic designs for coins, that would meet the ideas of an art critic like yourself, and artists generally, are not always adapted for practical coining".<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEMoran200862,_65_21-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMoran200862,_65-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He assured Gilder that the designs which Barber had already prepared had met with the approval of Mitchell, though Leech himself had some improvements to suggest to the chief engraver.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEMoran200865_22-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMoran200865-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Barber's first attempt, modeled for the half dollar, disregarded Leech's instructions.

Woolley">Robert W. Woolley</a>, took office. Woolley advocated the replacement of the silver coins when it was legal to do so, and instructed Barber and Morgan to prepare new designs. He consulted with the <a href="/wiki/Commission_of_Fine_Arts" class="mw-redirect" title="Commission of Fine Arts">Commission of Fine Arts</a>, asking them to examine the designs produced by the Mint's engravers and, if they felt they were not suitable, to recommend artists to design the new coins. The Commission rejected the Barber and Morgan designs and proposed <a href="/wiki/Adolph_Weinman" class="mw-redirect" title="Adolph Weinman">Adolph Weinman</a>, <a href="/wiki/Hermon_MacNeil" class="mw-redirect" title="Hermon MacNeil">Hermon MacNeil</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Albin_Polasek" title="Albin Polasek">Albin Polasek</a> as designers.
