outdoorguy New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 01/29/2013 12:49 pm Hi, I'm actually a new member, and have already benefited from the discussions in the forums. One area that I have a problem with is some of they acronyms and slang used in the numismatic area. I now understand what culls are, VBS, and other terms but I am having problems understanding what VAM,IGS,IGE, and what other terms are.I believe there are books that would help me, and Google already has. I was searching this site for terms and slang definitions but could not find any areas to enlighten my knowledge. Any direction in this area would be most helpful. thanks, Jeff Report this Post to the Staff

I am TLAI (three letter acronym impaired) so I rely on this quite a bit. EDIT: Figures mds308 would beat me to the punch! Edited by CoinsKelly 01/29/2013 1:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff

We can always add more entries to the glossary if they are needed. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
