They are both still a changed car according to when it rolled off the assembly line and both would still have a legitimate tag. How then would the values be different, if at all.?

--- interesting topic
Rather than define "value" which is impossible outside of saying it's "what someone else will pay," I'll answer your question with another:

If you had two identical cars, as described above, but one had a reissued VIN but no original VINS, and the other had no VIN problems--which would you rather buy?
