I apologize for the following non-widget post.
As a date collector, I have only passing interest in varieties in my specialty, and I am only interested in naked eye "Redbook" varieties, those that have become part of the basic set.
Many collectors do collect by variety. Some series have been well-researched and are well-suited to variety collecting: Morgan dollar, large cents, and bust halves come to mind.

need to also collect varieties. (Plus the budget can't handle the stuff I have right now!)

circulation since you can see their movement over the years as they spread out
from their release points. I'll collect the minor (microscope) varieties but refuse to
pay much of a premium for them and have mostly only those which I find. I'll buy
the major varieties that I haven't found eventually.
Out of all the series I've collected I find Bust Dime varieties the most interesting. I think it's because of the excellent book on the subject.
