Completed the half dollars of my 7070 registry!

I consider this a milestone in the set. Backstory is that my Dansco 7070 sat in a SDB, and I decided that was not a very satisfactory way to enjoy the set. A couple of years ago I started transitioning the set to registry format. In the end, only the 1876 made it from my prior efforts, as a number of the earlier coinage and commemoratives were sold off as the raw set lost momentum. The others just didn't make financial sense to submit for grading. Thus, all but the 1876 have been acquired in the last two years, with the 1854 Seated half being the final piece to fall into place last month. While the grades range from XF40-MS67 I think all the pieces fall into a common theme of having a touch of color and better eye appeal. I may still yet upgrade a piece or two but for now I am pleased with how this effort turned out!

An achievement indeed. And VERY well matched.
Having fun while switching things up and focusing on a next level PCGS slabbed 1950+ type set, while still looking for great examples for the 7070.
They all have great eye appeal.
Lovely examples.
Congratulations!

Looks great!
Great color all around. Wonderful group of halves. Congrats on the milestone.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Beautiful Set!! Congrats!
Congratulations. Stunning set of U.S. coins.
Beautiful... all!!! ...love your 1832 CBH. Are you going to do earlier Halves? I was considering a FH 1795 and a DBH HE reverse... no was I'd ever be able to afford an SE...

Absolutely phenomenal. That's a really nice selection of half dollars and you're right despite the range in grade they all compliment each other quite nicely. I especially like your pair of 1839 halves.
Does anyone else think the 1839 RE looks undergraded?
