    Don't forget all the threads and whining if CarolJ was just a tad late in opening it up.....

    Some members are known by their avatar.... If you changed your avatar I would be completely thrown!

    @tradedollarnut with his fantastic coin
    @TomB with the old school demon (which doesn't;t fit his personality as far as I know)
    @CaptHenway with whatever that is
    @SkyMan with the toned Franklin
    @messydesk with the french horn
    @EagleEye with the eagle eye GIF
    @keets with the Fear and Loathing in LAs Vegas thing going. That by the way is how I imagine you.
    @RYK is his retirement with the eagle reverse. I miss you man.

    Any others come to mind as borderline iconic avatars?

    So this is a thread about who is rich and who is not? Yikes................

    Mine is the reverse of a recently acquired 1954 proof nickel. I originally started out with the CC reverse of a Morgan Dollar. I used it for a while until I fell in love with this nickel.

    I picked mine because it's colorful and my initials are DEW. I've never actually drank a Mountain Dew. :D

    I like ColonelJessup's avatar ("You can handle the truth!") since it matches his personality. ;)

    Mine was a 1972 Venezuelan sticker of Nolan Ryan. It was one of my toughest items to track down for my Nolan Ryan collection. Only a dozen stamps graded by PSA. Sorry it's not coin related. I've had it for a dozen or so years. Originally I had the white tornado. I may change it to a coin one day as my coins are starting to overtake my passion for my Nolan Ryan cards.

    Edited to add: I decided to change my Icon.

    Mine is of a coin that was first "unverifiable" and now genuine with my collection name on the label.

    ..they DEW make diet but it’s tricky because one of the ingredients is orange juice and you can’t make orange juice taste good without it’s natural sugars and some...so I suggest this...get a glass bottled regular (non-diet) Mountain Dew and then just take a sip and dump the rest...you gotta go original with this brand IMHO ;)

    I'll try that but I'll just split a bottle with my wife. I hope it doesn't taste too bad or I'll have to change my avatar. ;)

    Mine is an old banknote vignette that I used as a logo for my old company Oakbrook Numismatic Enterprises Ltd, that I shortened to ONE LTD. I had the die Proof to use and later when the ABN archives were sold I was able to buy the original die used to make it.

    Did anyone mention Roadrunner? Always insightful commentary. Mine is just that I love the band growing up as part of the Kiss army! It used to be John Wayne, another idol of mine but I changed it once.

    Nope you didn't, you added yours about a year after you joined I recall, as a yn newbie, you quickly gained respect and admiration for your solid demeanor of life - you even had a bunch of appearances in Camelot run's..remember that?

    I never had one that stayed except this a-s grinning bouncy smiley - must have this for many years now - just saw it, and stuck with it, probably explains my life to a T.
