Yes there are a few gaps, but I can't complain about the one I have. Grades range from XF-40 to the lone MS example, the 1883 which grades MS-62. Yes, these are maybe not considered mega rarities (low mintage but higher survival rate), but they are still a bear to find in decent condition. Edited to add the grades for each coin:

1879: AU-55
1880: XF-40
1883: MS-62
1885: XF-40
1888: AU-50 CAC
1889: XF-40
1890: AU-55
1891: AU-53

10-4,

    Love your collection! I think the SLH has become my favorite silver type series. I own 3 and would like to own more someday!

    I've always dreamed of doing a collection like this, but never had the resources. Congratulations. I'm very glad to see such fine halves in one place.

    I appreciate how they aren’t super Proof like and clearly business strikes for the most part. That can be a challenge in its self with those dates

    Lovely group of halves. You have excellent taste!

  • pmh1nicpmh1nic Posts: 3,295 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I like these coins. While not high MS they have very good details, no major distractions and what to my eye are original surfaces (not doctored).

    The longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice is it possible for an empire to rise without His aid? Benjamin Franklin

    Very nice run of tough halves.

    Often, collectors go for a uniform look (which can be pleasing), but I love the variety of your set. Quite remarkable!

    Nice group of coins.

  • koynekwestkoynekwest Posts: 10,048 ✭✭✭✭✭

    That's a very impressive set!

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Very nice set of coins. I often feel there is too much focus on high grades. Sure, I like them... However, coins that have seen commerce and still show great detail (such as yours), make a great collection. Especially these old silver coins.... They were significant money at that time. Cheers, RickO

  • TiborTibor Posts: 3,623 ✭✭✭✭✭

    The 79 and 88 are my favorites
