I only have a few humble 20th century type examples, but here are a selection:
Newbie collector of type and circulated Peace dollars, photographer of places and animals, player of instruments and builder of amplifiers, espresso industry professional, and a person distracted by shiny objects.

1874-S WB-5 - replaces a Fair-2 WB-5 that has been horribly dipped and polished
1874-S WB-4 - PCGS F15 - a likely R7, currently an R8- (three known)
1875-S WB-24 - NGC MS63 CAC
1877-S WB-6 - NGC MS64 - finest known
1877-S WB-6 - probably the worst known at VF30 details - scratch (my grade)
1877-S WB-40 - PCGS MS61
.
.
Several of these DMs were discovered in the past 10 years, so their rarity rating will likely change with further collecting.

Those are nice. Upon further reflection I've decided to alter my stance and pursue a date set of seated halves. We'll see how it goes.

That's great! Remember that you'll still have to obtain either an 1852 or 1852-O and the '79-'90 dates, and they are all rare in low grades (G4-F12). Even in Good-4, these are all at least $400 or more.

I got most of them together for a family portrait, I'm actually farther along than I realized.

Wow! You certainly are well along with your date set. They look nice, too! I see some dates that I'm looking for now.

I'm waiting for grades to be released on a PCGS submission of 10 coins that includes several of the dates shown in your photo. It's been two days and I was hoping they would be released before the weekend. They do have to create a new CoinFacts page for the 1874-S WB-5 though. We'll see if they attributed the DM correctly. I sent them the web page for the WB-5 with some unpublished instructions on how to separate it from the similar WB-2.

I'm thinking seriously about sending a bunch of them in for grading, along with most of my bust halves. I just have to decide which tpg i want to use.

It's looking like it'll take a while to find decent examples of a couple civil war dates, too. Unless I raise my budget. I've been waiting for this 65S to come in the mail, and I started the return as soon as I got a look at it in hand.
Guess which are the seller pics, and which are the ones I uploaded for the return.
Ouch! There's a small trough in the obverse right field. I have an 1864 that was rejected by CACG for cleaning that I've submitted to PCGS. I should find out soon if it grades.

Yeah the scrubbing marks jumped right out in the light, that trough runs right along with them. The description didn't mention cleaning.
1872 S
This coin had been in some kind of paper envelope for a very long time - I have been so tempted to dip it but resisted. All those toning areas on esp. the obverse, these are not wear might it have affected grade negatively? Host’s grade MS 63.
Love that Milled British (1830-1960) Well, just Love coins, period.

A few from my type set.
"frost wear" ??
Please elaborate, if you please.

The parade continues with a photo of my newest proof Franklin (PF68DCAM CAC).
Show us your parade worthy half dollars.

@FlyingAl, I'm also interested

As the dies are used a wear out the frost begins to fade. This could be a fairly dramatic example of that.
It could also be a die preparation issue.

Here's a few.
Some newer additions.
Am I the only one that thinks it looks like rim toning concealing the frost on the external devices?

Time to start up the parade.
(ediited out 3 coins I showed 3 weeks ago, added others)
An addition to my recently started 1916 mint set.
