There were never any brass Morgan dollars minted by the US government. Either the coin was plated in brass or the dollar is counterfeit.
Timothy John Morgan seems to be a writer of scientific and popular non fiction books. As TJ Morgan, he appears to be very prolific in the field of physics. I have not found any other reference that seems to be relevant.

The coins were issued for different purposes and have different designs. The Trade dollar was slightly heavier and issued only for Overseas circulation, mainly in the Orient. It had a Liberty figure seated on the front (the joke was on a toilet seat) while the reverse has a heraldic eagle. (Oddly the positions of the olive branch and arrows in the eagle's talons are reversed, signifying a preference for war. The Morgan dollar is only one of a series of silver dollars that were minted for use in the US. "Morgan" refers to its designer, George T. Morgan, rather than to the denomination as a whole. Other silver-dollar designs included Liberty Head, Peace, Seated Liberty, etc. Morgan's design shows stylized Goddess of Liberty with a visored crown, and seems to be based on the Greek goddess Arethusa - a maritime goddess- maybe the princess of Atlantis, so to speak, while the tails side shows a spread-winged American eagle. Both Latin and Gothic letterings are used on the reverse of the Morgan dollar.
Vanessa Morgan is from Ontario, Canada. There is no information saying she has moved from Canada, so it seems as if she still lives there.
Bidfair is a synonym for seems possible.
"George Washington's portrait on the one-dollar bill " should be acceptable. "one dollar " for "one-dollar" would seems OK as well.

It seems possible.
PCGS lists an average retail price of about $400. That seems a bit high; if you do want to sell you should get a couple of competing appraisals. Remember, dealers will pay wholesale so expect to get only around 2/3 of retail.
So far, it seems that this is not possible.
Seems Possible :)
According to the news, it seems to be about USD1 = SGD1.45
