<p>[QUOTE="buddy16cat, post: 2196422, member: 37356"]Seems whomever was the chief engraver of the mint calls the shots but not always, like in the instance of the St. Gaudens $20 gold piece. There are several coins that don't have a head on the obverse like walkers, standing liberty quarters, seated liberty coins, shield nickels and 2 cent pieces, 3 cent silvers, and various commemorates. There are a lot of coins with a head, whether it is of Miss Liberty, a president, or some other historical figure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
