I thought when you picked an icon it was yours??

loanshark · August 5, 2004 12:52PM

Just noticed a new member, Grant1922, picked the same icon as me. I thought I was the "Colt 45". Looks like we now have two of us.

JrGMan2004 · August 5, 2004 12:52PM

Nope we could all be on here with the same icon

Russ · August 5, 2004 12:55PM

Once they're on the server, they're fair game.

Russ, NCNE

coinguy89 · August 5, 2004 12:55PM

Theres another guy been here longer than you with that same icon.

loanshark · August 5, 2004 12:59PM

Looks like there are now 3 of us.

Feel like I need to apologize to the first guy.

Let me know if you see anyone else using mine.

Sphinx357 · August 5, 2004 1:18PM

Yep, I originally used mutley, then I saw another guy using it and I didn't notice the name right away. So I thought his posts were my posts. Changed that right away.

You can upload your own (normally on the 15th of each month, but this month only on the 9th)

Make it 100x100 pixels under 10k and on Monday the 9th, click on your profile button and you'll see the upload field

ss350camaro · August 5, 2004 1:23PM

HUH ?!? Hey !! Are you using my icon ???

Lakesammman · August 5, 2004 1:48PM

Guess mines ugly....no one has stolen it....

haletj · August 5, 2004 1:52PM

Maybe you're the "Colt 45" and the other person is the "Colt 45s". What a great name for a baseball team.

Yeah Wayne, somehad had stolen your old icon of the 1944 steel cent!

ccr · August 5, 2004 2:08PM

At one time, there where about 4 or 5 people using mine in the last year or so. I don`t have much problem with it as I find it kinda flattering that someone new comes on and uses it. I haven`t noticed anyone lately using my icon.

windwhispersintrees · August 5, 2004 2:37PM

I dunno.....how are you supposed to know if someone else is already using it?

I made my own animated icon from scratch, so I guess it'd be weird for me to discover someone else using it.

Perhaps like those insane identity theft commercials with the odd voices that're on TV!!!
"And now I have the best coin collection on the block, hee ah haaaaa"

oldcameoproofsguy · August 5, 2004 2:38PM

I think it's pretty cool when people use icons of coins that I own or once owned.

cladking · August 5, 2004 2:46PM

Mine's very common. It's only appropriate and would be more appropriate if more people used it.

mgoodm3 · August 5, 2004 3:01PM

mine is homemade and nobody ever knows what it is, so hopefully it will keep people from trying to steal it.

cladking · August 5, 2004 3:12PM

<< mine is homemade and nobody ever knows what it is, so hopefully it will keep people from trying to steal it. >>

I remember it.

66Tbird · August 5, 2004 3:18PM

i like my icon so much, i bought the coin. took a while though

ajia · August 5, 2004 3:24PM

mgoodm3,

A Buff that's been to the dentist getting x-rays too many times?

mgoodm3 · August 5, 2004 3:34PM

Yay. people have figured out my icon. For a while there, i was always getting asked what the hell it was.

Mrpawn · August 5, 2004 3:38PM

Try a plain and boring one. I do not know who originally supplied mine but I kinda like it. the only other person that I have seen use it actually animated it.

I might think about changing to that one that Wayne Herndon uses though

michael · August 5, 2004 3:47PM

feel free to use my icon anytime

michael

Bochiman · August 5, 2004 4:03PM

<< 

<< mine is homemade and nobody ever knows what it is, so hopefully it will keep people from trying to steal it. >>

I remember it too...and, you did it in response to my asking about xray'ing through an unopened GSA dollar box

Now, the scary thing about icons was just over a year ago I think (right after I joined I think) when a lot of the people went on a "good guy"'s icon warpath

solid · August 6, 2004 12:11AM

There is another person on here using my icon, but oh well, I still
own the coin!

I also created the logo for another well-known member, who shall remain
nameless. I told them about the royalty arrangement, but he/she wasn't biting!

Agreed. I suppose if someone wanted to use my icon, I should look at it as a form of flattery that they'd want to use *my* coin.

MadMonk · August 6, 2004 12:20AM

I'd think courtesy is applicable here. I've had excellent results, and made a friend along the way.
Everybody having a unique icon sure helps me identify people easier.

ScarsdaleCoin · August 6, 2004 12:30AM

interesting thread...guess copy is sincere form of flattery

RegistryCoin · August 6, 2004 12:33AM

Nothing on the "net" is owned, I thought. I'll keep "The Flag" icon... I used to use the "Iron Chef" icon, but was told to stop(???)

joeyuk · August 6, 2004 12:34AM

I don't think anyone will be using mine.

SDCollector · August 6, 2004 12:37AM

Mine is my first coin pic. And someone (can't remember who) is also using it. I was very flattered

jom · August 6, 2004 12:46AM

Yeah, I noticed that too. Someone else has this avatar (or whatever it's called). To let you know that is MY coin (back when I did scans). It's my 08-S Eagle.

jom

aRabidChipmunk · August 6, 2004 12:54AM

I don't think I have seen anyone else using my icon yet!

For those of you wondering what it is, I scanned in one of my subdued U.S. Army Drill Sergeant patches.

Shamika · August 6, 2004 1:44AM

Loan Shark,

Might I suggest picking a butt-ugly icon similar to mine (but not the same as mine, please).

Nobody else will want it and you'll soon be immediately identified by it.

Russ · August 6, 2004 2:04AM

<< I think it's pretty cool when people use icons of coins that I own or once owned. >>

Ditto. One member uses the Flea Market Morgan.

<< I also created the logo for another well-known member, who shall remain
nameless. >>

HMM...Are his initials Barney Fife?

Russ, NCNE

KlectorKid · August 6, 2004 2:07AM

My current Icon is used by 3 or 4 people. They are comics and cards though.

Geod · August 6, 2004 2:23AM

Look at mine and you will understand why no one else uses it!!!!!!!!!!!

solid · August 6, 2004 4:32AM

Good one, Russ!

TheLiberator · August 6, 2004 1:13PM

woof woof!!!!!!!

I thought when you picked an icon it was yours??
