If it were me and I was thinking about slabbing, on the circulated side, I would defiantly slab 1883, 1884, 1885, 1887. If the 1880, 1882 and 1889 were better grades, I would consider slabbing if they were on the edge of making the higher grade where there is the is a price jump. Believe it or not, the common dates at lower grades can be had for $10 to $20 so they may not be worth slabbing.
I am not as familiar with the proof market so my approach would be to look for the 1886/7 variety and try to figure out where the price difference is.
You will find many opinions here on slabbing. I prefer raw coins and would only consider slabbing if I were selling something that would net a higher value slabbed (but I have yet to sell a coin!). There are others here who slab anything valuable for various reasons (i.e. registry, easier estate liquidation, etc).
As far as posting here, I would recommend those dates I mentioned but feel free to post anything you would like an opinion on. While I mentioned some of the common dates often sell lower, they also often have clashes and some fun varieties.
