Desiree, my question to you is what started you on these varieties? Some people read these books about making big money on pocket change and think they'll be the next millionaire coin guru. Hope that's not you and that you're truly interested in coin varieties for the sake of collecting, thrill of the hunt, so to speak. Do you WANT to make a set of Jeff nickel varieties? There's the key.
Most varieties, such as Brian's and other venues are really for the "connesuer" (?), those who seem to not "get their fill" of them. I've gotten that way with Lincoln Cent RPM's. Got them setup by date and logged by Coppercoins number scheme. Not so much in nickels and virtually none in other denominations, why, not interested and pennies is a big enough field. Made it my ,"specialty" in numismatics, far from expert, but learning. Give you a big hint, tried selling some duplicate RPM's on an auction site...mine were MS60 uncirculated examples, lots of 5 each. When said and done, on 3 sold lots after expences, made $.10 apiece, 15 coins in flips, labeled, shipping, fees, personal time, gas, it ain't worth it as a moneymaking proposition. And that's for a "recognized" error coin. Seems to work that way for die clashes/breaks, Cuds. Market just isn't there unless its tsome just like us!
