"I hope it's a VAM"

60 years with my wife. Never interested in coins or collecting even though she sees the pleasure it has given me. However, today I won an eBay auction with a bid placed earlier in the week. Had to tell her so that she knows what happened when the credit card bill arrives. Normal procedure for us.
Then when I told her that I won a coin on eBay she says only one thing: "I hope it was a VAM!"
This is a WOW moment for me!
I know some of you understand exactly where I'm coming from.
Yes, it's a VAM, 1891-o E reverse strong.

FWIW, every coin is a VAM.
congratulations on 60 years and she nailed it on the VAM comment !!!

Don't tell my wife that please! I'm just happy she understands that VAM means something better than "normal"

Next I might have to tell her about RPMs, DDOs, etc. I'm working on it, got some years left to make it happen !!
That one is the strongest E clash. It can be attributed down to PO1 grade, though my lowest have been in FA2. The terminal stage is insane, where the front of the eye clash in the lower right reverse practically breaks into a cud. Definitely worth looking out for. One of the few cool VAMs pickable from cull buckets.
I give you VAM guys credit. This is what happens to my head if I just think of VAM's! 😂
True or false: You VAM guys could live two or three lifetimes and never know all the VAM's.
True but there are some who make a living from it and new VAMs are being discovered quite often. I have 5 discoveries with 3 of them within the last few months.

Thank you for the reality check.
