I recall your handle because I couldn't make sense of it. I didn't realize you had been gone so long.
The last time I stopped collecting, TPG slabs were just coming out and hitting the coin shows like a tidal wave. When I returned, CAC was making their debut to correct all the mistakes the TPGs had made over 20 years. Progress!

Yeah, I found many people have trouble with the handle. By the time I figured that out it was kinda too late, everyone knows me by this now. It's the first 2 letters of my first, middle and last name. BEnjamin COlin KArr. BECOKA.
And now I'm coming back finding out CAC has thier own slabs now. ITs time for PCGS and NGC to start a sticker progam to milk more $$$ to verify eachothers slabs.

Welcome back!! 15 years is a long time!! I got my ancient membership badge from PCGS over a year ago and your last post pre-dates my joining by three years! lol
lol, yep, I saw all those badges pop up after making my first comeback post. I guess they gave up for the folks that started it all and just called us old.

I do remember you, welcome back from a 15 year time warp! Not sure if you are on Instagram, but there is a thriving coin community out there. I've got over 5K followers just from posting coins, using the same handle name I have here. Some forum members are out there as well.
That's pretty cool. Would be fun to post something like coin of the week with a little blurb.

Well, I'm named Barberian, and I haven't collected Barber coins in 14 years. Go figure. At least yours makes some sense.

You missed the CMQ thread, then. They were established so that there would be someone able to reject the new CAC slabs. Welcome back!
Many of us are still here, but in the interim there have been a few who have sadly passed away. If you haven't been here since 2008 then you may not know that SeaEagleCoins, Bear, Broadstruck, Russ, silvereagles92 and RickO have all passed away. There have been others, as well, but you may recall these folks.
Adding our beloved Mr.HalfDime to the list. RIP since 2019.

I hated to see your welcome buried under all those default avatars.

Let’s not talk about my name.

I haven’t seen him around in years, though I very recently sold a bust half I bought from him off the BST, to another forum member.
And btw, welcome back, I remember your forum name from way back when.
