<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim sullivan, post: 4854869, member: 100154&quot;]A while back I was able to get a few old books from the 70s and earlier relating to different aspects of numismatics. 1 of them was this &quot;Variety and Oddity&quot; guide from 1977 by a Frank Spadone. Flipping through it I couldnt help notice how far things have come from the definitions and descriptions used in 1977. Even the coins they listed. I have 2 1958 D LWCs with anomalies connecting the date, mm, bust which I couldnt believe were actually listed in this book!!!!! So it made me wonder. How did the E&amp;V (error and variety) side of coin collecting get to where it is now? Who changed Micro double shift to Machine doubling, Double mint mark to Rpm or Double die shift to Doubled die? And was the information at all accurate? For example might a 1956 D seperated mint mark RPM be listed as a die break? That kinda stuff. I know we&#039;re talking 45 years here but I thought it was interesting. So any old timers out there who could paint a picture on how E&amp;V collecting evolved and who impacted it the most?</p><p>Thanks!!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
