Beautiful coins. That transitional pair is particularly cool as the change is so dramatic.

 

And what makes this one pretty cool is there are varieties found on both 1837 half dimes styles.

 

I wouldn't consider the Seated-Trade or Trade-Morgan dollar to be a type transition.

Seated and Morgan dollars were referred to as Standard Dollars.
