A variety collection of 1820 Large Cents-- is anyone working on this?
I read in the latest issue of Coin World about the benefits of completing a variety set of 1820 Large Cents. I read that (except for one), none of the varieties are excessively rare, thus making this a collection for The Masses.
Is anyone in the process of completing this set? If so, what are the challenges? Is the set as simple as making a few passes through the bourse to complete it, or does it take patience to put together a well-matched set? If Longacre outsourced the completion of a set such as this to his assistant, would she have trouble with it, or is it a pretty simple set to follow?

These are EAC grades with CQR values average pieces, choice would be 20-30% more minimum

I dunno. Does the assistant have the book to attribute the varieties, or is she going to have to rely on finding them already attributed? How many varieties are there, anyway?
