The problem with seated coinage is there are way too many varieties.

TO, not trying to nit-pick, I believe that the listing that you mentioned above are TYPES, not varieties which can number in the dozens if not hundreds.
PCGS recognizes six Types in the Seated Half Dollar series;
Type 1, No Drapery (1839)
Type 2, No Motto (1839-1866)
Type 3, Arrows & Rays (1853)
Type 4, No Motto, Arrows at Date (1854-1855)
Type 5, With Motto (1866-1891)
Type 6, With Motto, Arrows at Date (1873-1874)

Nice pickup.

That's how it starts, you get one and end up liking it, then get another and another and before you know it, you're working on the series!
The fun is finding circulated seated halves with that look for other dates, especially the 1860's. Be patient, they do show up every now and then.

You have a great looking example there.
Not that I can tell. I looked at it pretty good but I see no evidence of a re-punched date.

My list comes from the Redbook, where they refer to them as Varieties.
Same thing only different I guess
