Collector Pseudonyms

Zoins

I ran across the following very interesting list of collector pseudonyms while researching the California-Nevada Token Society, I came across Pete Smith's book:

Personal Tokens and Medals of American Numismatists

Anyone know of others?

I'm guessing the pseudonyms became a lot more popular with forum handles!

We used to have Kings, Queens, Dukes, Princes and Wizards.

With the Internet, I've seen quite a few Nuts

A certain Warner Brothers Star observed that we have

The Duke of Ellington
The Earl of Hines
The Count of Basie

And for the less musically inclined... we have The Lord of Flatbush

Full circle back to numismatics- not sure whether Hoagy Carmichael had some sort of handle- possibly something to do with Stardust
