    Nice.
    For half dimes,
    I think of the Extra Drapery type as being immediately after the Stars type, as the transition was in 1840.
    For 1856-1858 and 1859-O, I like them as Reduced Weight No Arrows.
    Then 1859 Philadelphia is a separate Hollow Stars (Paquet) hub.
    But a nice thing about type sets and collecting in general is that everyone can choose their own set definition.

    I was considering changing the order of a couple of them, but ended up putting them in the order that they appeared in one of my Type sets across the street.
