I recently picked up this "hole filler" for my 7070 Type Set and wanted to see what the CCF members had to say about her in comparison to PCGS.

Thank you for your interest and comments!

GR-16/JR-20 from the repunched 8 and near-bisecting obverse crack. I'd like it as a strong VF35, maybe 40.
Rest in Peace

Optimistically EF40. Not sure the variety but I do like the re-punched 8 and obverse radial die cracks.

Xf40. I like that both the inner and outer clasp are well defined.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS
THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

EF obverse, but can't give reverse more than VF-30, so maybe VF-35 net.
Rest in Peace

It's almost kissing 40, but not quite there with 35. Solid looking, nonetheless.

A well struck VF35. It appears to be lightly cleaned. It's not a bad example by any means; the upper/left half of the reverse just looks too light/white. A keeper at the right price.

That one die crack could be a lamination.
