I recently have started looking more closely to Morgan dollar VAMs and I have learned that TPG's only recognizes certain VAMs (top 100, hot 50, hit list 40).

But since I have only collected coins for around a year I do not know how often does PCGS or NGC change or update their list of recognized VAMs or has it always been same (based on top 100, hot 50 and hit list 40)?

Each of the major TPGers has strengths and weaknesses.
Be aware that ANACS will not only label all VAMs, but will add the "Discovery" designation to the label of your discovery VAMs.
Price and service are also attractive.

ANACS service does seem nice If I decide to collect Morgan dollars by VAMs or if I at some point get as good and/or lucky to recognize and find new VAM.

My guess is for PCGS and NGC that they will update their recognized VAM lists if top 100, hot 50 and hit list 40 gets updated (Maybe that will happen once in a blue moon).

Or if yet another new list is published and collectors/numismatists find it interesting enough so PCGS and NGC find it profitable to add new VAMs to their lists.
