Comments:

1. Since VAM numbers are assigned by die classification, and not just by die pairing, multiple die pairings exist.
2. I had two coins in the VAM-1 category at one time during my die study since they were very Plain Jane VAMs. I sent the one with the most die poop to Leroy to see what he would do. He called it VAM-1. Since the other coin is even more unremarkable, I will not send it to Leroy and just call it VAM-1 also. Thus there are two die pairs in VAM-1. So the issue is what to call them? I can't very well call them VNAs, since Leroy already called one of them VAM-1 officially. The second coin did not go to Leroy as I previously stated since in my opinion and experience, he would call it a VAM-1 also. Why waste my and Leroy's time with it?
3. I thought about following the precedent used in the 1883-P VAM-1 family. However, I am not comfortable using my initials to tie to a particular die pair. So I have assigned them VW (VAMworld) numbers. This seems appropriate since this is the site they are identified on. [AdiosVW-II] Apr 5, 2017.
