Slider (Trade Dollar) Saturday

Just wanted to share a fun NEWP. I think this just forced my hand into restarting the eBay slider Trade Dollar collection after selling out my first attempt a few years ago. It's really a never ending set as the tough dates will be near-impossible to get raw. Currently have two in the set. Post any sliders you enjoy!
Nice, crusty 1877 S T$. Common date with an uncommon look. Slightly PL obverse to boot!

And the only other coin in the set at the moment:
What's going on with the mintmark in that one?
This is the first chop marked Trade Dollar I acquired. And still one of my favorites.

You’re straining the idea of a ‘set’ with just two coins. 😈
Your two examples seem to match up well. Nice ones.

@stealer....Those are nice coins and a raw set would be great....Now you have me thinking about maybe doing that....Cheers, RickO
Those are some cool chops! I've never seen any like those. They almost look like script...

Nice coins! Good luck on your set.
Just got this one, thought it was a DDR but turned out to be a repunched 7. NGC 58
Here are a couple...

@erwindoc it's just an opportunistically placed toning spot
@TennesseeDave nice pair of coins! Was that 76S 2/2 on eBay recently? I somehow recognize that coin.
@DDR I've always loved that script chopped T$. If ever you decide to part with it...
@SeattleSlammer hah, you got me! But the idea is to eventually get all of the date/MM unless...
@ricko that's a great idea! I have this old Wayte Raymond for T$ that's been begging to be used. It only has one slot for each date, so that might actually be feasible to pull off if I'm limiting myself to raw eBay purchases.
@kaz nice RPM! Those DDR can be tough to find.
@mbogoman sweet pair of coins as well! I recognize the second one
@stealer you should!
