Science Or Opinion

I watched the video it was good, but for the hobby of collecting coins in general, ERROR coins have been known for YEARS....Despite who's name you give them...They encompass all types, pennies to what ever..even to World coins.......As far as VAM's are concerned If LVA died tomarrow
the interest will not go away.....His work is an extention(Might I say A MIGHTY extention} of those who were before him....eventually IMO those that follow him will carry on in his foot steps as the road is well established...there's no need to lock up the VAM as some have mentioned...but to carry it forward.......Vams are now ingrained into the TPG's that's not going to change...with the dilligence (sorry I'm not a secretary and can't spell)of those who follow Vamming will only continue into the future.......and despite some of the issues of numbering systems and other info.....Its not like no one knows about them and it will be worked out......there will be no scrapping and re-inventing of the wheel...it rolls just fine and as every thing in life has...there's always a few bumps in the road...

It IS possible for another researcher to come along, write a new book, renumber a series and have it accepted and replace the previous system. It has happened many times in the past with many series. But usually it happens when there is either a good reason for the change such as a provable major correction in the emission sequence, or a more logical system of arranging the varieties, or if the standard reference for a series is just plain unobtainable for the average collector. Usually though a group of collectos simply "takes over" and verifies new discoveries and assigns a new number in the system used by the author of the standard reference. This is why even though Newcomb dies in 1944, new middle and late date large cent are still assigned Newcomb numbers, and new early halves get Overton numbers, new Conder tokens get D&H numbers etc. Until someone writes a much better book on the Morgan and Peace dollar varieties they will remain VAM varieites.
