<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 3501834, member: 13650"]Some things are just random. I dont think it was purposely done one way or the other. Lincolns bust for the cent was done in 1909. The Barber motif around the same time also was facing the right. But the Mercury dime which came out in 1916 faces left. Think it comes down to the original designer's preference if I had to make a guess. No rhyme or reason. The nickel and quarter re-designs came out in the 30s and it's possible they decided to continue with the busts facing left after that for the sake of continuity I suppose.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
