This 1873 Liberty Seated Half Dollar Closed 3 Without Arrows would make an excellent addition to your set.
The earliest coins minted in 1873 (Half Dollars included), had a 3 in the date that looked like an 8 because the loops of the 3 were so close together. Later in the year, Mint engravers created new dies with corrected 3's.
