Rogers joined the U.S. Mint in October 1991, working at the Philadelphia Mint facility, and retired in 2001.[2] His design for the Sacagawea dollar was modified slightly before it went into circulation.[1]
Rogers designed the reverses of four of the State Quarters, including those for Maryland, Massachusetts and South Carolina.[3] He designed the original reverse of the American Platinum Eagle,[4] which was used on the proof version of that coin's first year (1997) and on non-proof Platinum Eagles of all dates,[1] and designed the reverses of two subsequent years of the proof version of the same coin, those of 1998 and 2001.[4]
Additionally, Rogers designed the obverses of the 1996 silver $1 coin commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Smithsonian Institution,[5] the 1998 Robert F. Kennedy silver dollar, and the 2000 Library of Congress $10 coin,[6] and designed both sides of several other United States commemorative coins.[2]
Although retired from the U.S. Mint, Rogers has subsequently carried out some design work for the Mint as an independent artist under contract.[7] In 2014, Rogers designed the reverse of the 2016 Sacagawea dollar,[7][8] which honors Native American code talkers from World Wars I and II.[8]
