The wings on her cap were supposed to represent "Liberty of Thought." The reverse depicts a fasces with an olive branch behind it. The 1916-D is the "key" date of the series, with a mintage of only 264,000 pieces. Another pair of interesting varieties are the 1942/1 and 1942/1-D. Both of these overdates are highly sought by collectors and dealers.
In 1948, Dr. William Sheldon, a renowned numismatist, developed the Sheldon Scale, assigning grades from "1" through "70" to coins. The basis of Sheldon’s theory was that a "70" would be worth 70 times as much as a "1."
PCGS built its grading standards upon the Sheldon Scale when it introduced the concept of encapsulated, third-party grading in 1986. To understand more about grading of a coin go to https://www.pcgs.com/grades.
