WHERE ARE THE 1855 FLYING EAGLE PATTERN SETS?

In the January 7, 2007 E-Sylum, subscriber R.V. Dewey asked about the
"very rare" eight-piece sets of 1855 pattern flying eagle cents, numbered
I to VIII in Roman numerals. These were referenced in the Judd pattern
book (5th edition, page 44), but not in the eighth edition of Judd
(Whitman, 2003).  It was R.V.'s other question about William Woodin's
windfall of pattern coins from the U.S. Mint that brought some
responses.  But we're still hoping to learn if anyone knows anything
about these 1855 pattern cents.  Why aren't they mentioned in Pollack
or the newer Whitman edition?  Was the note in the earlier Judd
editions incorrect?  Do these sets exist?
