How'd you decide on your "handle?"

Me, I did it when I had the pawnshop and wanted to let peeps know that my junk was top stuf.

Stooge · October 31, 2018 3:48PM

I absolutely love the 3 Stooges. I used to have a picture of Moe as my avatar, but someone else was using it, so I switched to my Schnauzer Toby.

Onastone · October 31, 2018 3:50PM

I used to paint on stones. Painted on about 5000 stones including one for Walter Cronkite! I used to ask people all the time, what do you want "on a stone"

Insider2 · October 31, 2018 3:50PM

I'm just a wannabe. I had it on another forum so I just added the "2."

ms70 · October 31, 2018 4:01PM

I couldn't decide on one so I just picked something easy.

Namvet69 · October 31, 2018 4:04PM

I am a decorated disabled Vietnam veteran, 1969-1972. I am grateful for my life today. I really enjoy CU and everyone present. Peace Roy

TommyType · October 31, 2018 4:05PM

I'm just really bad at picking user names.....

Example: As an Anaheim Ducks fan, I joined a message board devoted to them. I went with "DuckNewbie".....which stopped making sense after about the first week.

As for TommyType....I consider myself a type collector, first and foremost. (Ok there....) But while my name is Tom, NOBODY calls me Tommy! Another momentary brain fart.

crazyhounddog · October 31, 2018 4:06PM

I’m not even gonna try to explain my handle away.

Namvet69 · October 31, 2018 4:10PM

Oh yeah it's Halloween. Here I am with my grandson Greyson. I only eat the Reeses cups. Peace Roy

CaptHenway · October 31, 2018 4:12PM

Bill Fivaz called me Captain Henway somewhere back in the 70's and I liked the name.

Walkerfan · October 31, 2018 4:19PM

Pretty self-explanatory....I’m a Walking Liberty half fanatic.

I’ve pretty much always admired them.

goodmoney4badmoney · October 31, 2018 4:44PM

I collect error coins. A friend who knows this fact once remarked; "I don't get it, you're spending good money for bad money". I thought it was funny because it's true.

cecropiamoth · October 31, 2018 4:46PM

I used to breed and rear four different United States silkmoths. Cecropia, polyphemus, promethea and luna. College days until my early 30's. A lot of work!!! I loved butterflies and moths as a youngster. My favorite silkmoth and most abundant in these parts was the Hyalophora cecropia.

Rocco is part of my real name and Aspie= Aspergers (level 1 autism)

ctf_error_coins · October 31, 2018 4:55PM

Kinda obvious which is what I want.

I do and still, want to change it to... ctfErrorCoins

I called about doing that, but I would have to start over with my post count.

Maybe I should and with my new found zero, I coin post some parking lot change and ask questions.

StrikeOutXXX · October 31, 2018 5:00PM

I lurked for awhile, and the day I made my account, I had a bowling tournament that morning and rolled a 300 game. Strikeout is a term for having 3 strikes in the last frame, scored as XXX on the sheet. Came up with StrikeOutXXX.

I did not know that about you, Jon.

I'm always learning something new around here... not just about the coins but about the folks here, as well.

Thanks to both of you for your service to this great country.

cameonut2011 · October 31, 2018 6:11PM

I started trying to build a complete set of cameo 1936-1942 coinage or as frosted as existed (where no designated examples exist) in 2011.

bugbit · October 31, 2018 6:15PM

Bitten by the silver bug quite a few years ago and led me to collecting coins and led me here

messydesk · October 31, 2018 6:18PM

Mine shouldn't take much imagination to figure out. And for the record, I had to reach over a stack of coins in flips to type this, and proceeded to knock the stack over.

Paradisefound · October 31, 2018 6:20PM

My first choice would be TYPE1 had I know then ...it couldn't be changed later ...........

I am a simple man, I like things uncomplicated, I am Bob Sr to my son Bob Jr. Like NamVet69 and Dimeman, I am a Vietnam Vet 1965/1966 and 1968/1969 permanently disabled and I would not give up 1 minute of my 10 years service to my beloved country for anything ( well maybe for an MS66 1909 SVDB, but just for 1 minute).

No Headlights · October 31, 2018 7:16PM

Headlights is a term I use for dipped white coins, which I don’t enjoy in the least. Barbers are my main interest but collect Seated, Bust, and a little gold. Love the look of an original coin. So of course No Headlights it is. Interesting thread to be sure. Special thanks to
our vets for your service
