Argentina Sunface Silver Denomination Set

One of my favorite designs is the Argentina Sunfaces. I set out to build as high end of a set as I could and with the addition of the 4R, by far the most difficult denomination, I have completed the first iteration of the set. While the 2R and 4R are well matched and the 1/2, 1, and 8R are also reasonably well match, the set as a whole spans the grade range from AU53 (4R) to MS66 (1R). Here it is for your viewing (all coins with the help of @CoinRaritiesOnline ):
1/2R P65
1R P66 ex. Coco Derman (shown in NGC prongs)
2R P58 ex. Whittier
4R P53
8R P64+
Next up...the GOLD

Really amazing quality on these! Such a cool design too.
Very cool, Brian... congrats on completing round one. I've always loved that design, and you've done a great job with the quality and the overall look to your set.
Great great set!
That is one amazing set! When I saw the 4R on "hold" I had a feeling who the buyer was. Good news for me is now maybe I can snag a couple

He is kind of like the QD Bowers of Argentinian numismatics and founded (I think) and is long time president of the Argentinian numismatic group Federación de Entidades Numismáticas y Medallísticas Argentinas

I love that goofy design, too.
Wouldn't you hate to have to answer their phone and announce the name?
Nice run of sun faces! Thanks for sharing them.
Great looking group, they look good together.

Love the sunface motif, very folk arty. Great set!
Loos to me @Boosibri that Atlas just listed an Argentina 8 escudos that is really beautiful, and perhaps is what you are looking for.
Thank you @Abuelo for the notice! The coin I saw at auction in Europe and was turned off by the scratch on the reverse. Supper appreciative of you looking out for me though!
