OK... Looks like I have a registry set contender on my hands, but the honor will have to be shared!

I've put together a set and polished it off a little, adding a few sub-types along the way. Those of you that know me, it should not surprise you that my passion for collecting copper runs deep. REAL deep. Happily I can anounce, as it has been a long time coming, that my assemblage of proof type examples of small cents has achieved a shared spot at the top, for the time being, next to Martin Logies' Cardinal collection. I hope you get the chance to check out some of my comments, especially with regard to the design variations. I will confess that I did not spend a lot of time researching, only going off of what I can remember, but I think the set gives a good run-down of the proof cents offered by the mint since 1856.
I hope that this set is further specialized one day to include ALL of the variants, including the one that I do not own, the 1936 satin finish proof, and perhaps others that escape my mind at the present. I will be making small changes throughout the day, and intend to include photographs of the entire 2009 commemorative series before the registry deadline.
The set can be viewed HERE.

Amazing accomplishment.
btw: that 1858 is WAY rarer than an '09-VDB.
That 1858 is a tough coin to even find, let alone in cameo.
