What does the image in the "G" represent?

SoFloSoFlo Posts: 560 ✭✭✭✭

In the PCGS logo the "G" has what appears to be a profile of someone, or is that something else?

Whether you think you can or, think you can't, you're right.

    Isn't that the liberty head?

    Don't quote me on that.

    The "Big G" stands for "Grading!" :)

    All these years I thought it was David Hall. :/

    Profile of Liberty...Ok I'll go with that but, I still think it resembles a crappy map of South America.

    Whether you think you can or, think you can't, you're right.

    I think it looks like this image of Liberty to be exact.

    So this is where the G spot is. After all this time!

    @ModCrewman

    I think it looks more like a simplified, cartoonish version of the obverse of this (with the bottom squished in to make it approximate a "G"):

    Or maybe even this one:

    Maybe, has anyone tried a scratch and sniff on the "G"?

    Jokes aside I think it's awesome PCGS incorporated such a lovely design into their logo.
