Commemking just doesn't seem to fit anymore and I would like to change my username. Can it be done?

    I'm pretty certain you can't. In the past you had to re-register under your new ID and start with a zero post count.

    Cheers

    If you're going to collect common coins you can go with commonking.

    I'm sure it can be done, but would probably require administrators to update it manually in the system. Not sure if PCGS offers that level of support, but I would contact the forum admins.

    Never seen it done before.

    I'll bet you want to change it to TypeKing. :#

    I agree it could probably be done administratively. But I'd be surprised if PCGS allowed forum members to change names.

    If I started over, I wonder how long it would take before someone would/could bust me out.

    Plenty of people have changed their usernames......when they create their alts....

    Aside from that, PCGS has said in the past that they don't change them for people. One would need to nuke the account (ie...stop using it/disable it/cancel it/whatever) and then create a brand new one, making sure to NOT use the original one anymore as that would be using an alt right there, and is forbidden.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    I believe you have to start a new account.... just what I know based on the old forum... I do not think that changed with the new software. Cheers, RickO

    Not a big deal. Just doesn't fit too well anymore.

    I started collecting Proof Morgans and haven't had one in a few years. I would of had to re-register and lose my post count if I wanted to change it. I opted not to.

    If you have lots of coins, you're no cash poor, no? I mean, that's the great thing about numismatics; you can have you hobby and your money too.
