Explain your handle

csanotes · January 15, 2008 11:37AM

My handle here is the same name I use on ebay..When I first got into the hobby before I found DMPL and toned morgans I exclusively collected currency-notably confederate notes. I still buy the occasional csa note and will always like them. So now you know.

percyb · January 15, 2008 1:41PM

It's the first name and middle initial of the Romantic Poet, Percy Bysshe Shelley, whose work and wits I admire.

ChrisRx · January 15, 2008 1:42PM

I am a sexy pharmacy tech.

Edited to add: Any ladies out there? hah

SpaceMonkey · January 15, 2008 1:42PM

someone asked me this question once... this was my reply...

SpaceMonkey... Let's See... I love Space and I guess the idea of the Monkeys as the original astronauts is a good link because it's my love of charting uncharted territories... wherever, however, not fearless, but not fearful either... kinda like the monkey... they don't know what the hell they're doing... but hanging on for the ride!!

MidLifeCrisis · January 15, 2008 1:45PM

Building a coin collection again after about a 25 year break is part of my mid-life crisis...along with buying the red mustang convertible!

tresgatos · January 15, 2008 1:54PM

The tres gatos were my big kitty, my little kitty and me.
Big kitty didn't make it out of 2007 but with my handle she
will always be remembered.

ve3rules · January 15, 2008 2:31PM

The coolest coins ever were minted in Italy during the reign of King Victor Emmanuel III (VE3).

gregormendel · January 15, 2008 2:34PM

"Petescorner" was already taken, so I just made this crappy name up.

Treeman · January 16, 2008 4:37AM

Kind of obvious, but my other hobby is amateur Forestry.

Welcome aboard.

Those are some very cool coins.

thisnamztaken · January 16, 2008 9:44AM

When trying to enter a new screen name/handle to register on various internet message boards, I often got the message "This name has already been taken" or something similar, so this time I decided to just cut to the chase and use "thisnamztaken" to get it over with quickly so I could start posting.

dogwood · January 16, 2008 10:24AM

An epiphany one day instructed me to build custom doghouses which was only slightly removed from my vocation and included two of my passions. This was before it kind of became a mini-trend among the HGTV clique. Built, did a dog show, everyone ohhed and ahhed but $2800. for a doghouse is a hit and miss proposition. My business name was Dogwood Doghouses. They look great in my backyard.

Apparently the software here occasionally miscounts the number of posts in
a thread. When it does this it will still put the proper number of posts on each
page but there will be a left over that doesn't appear on the last page displayed.

To view such posts you can just highlight the address and add one to the last
number displayed. It will start a new page for you so the last post is visible.

headsplitter2 · January 26, 2008 7:02PM

Being I'm of Norwegian ancestary, and my last name is Knutson and having a good imagination,
and hoping my ancestors were vikings. The vikings would name their weapons, hence my weapon
would be called Headsplitter2. (Headsplitter was taken).

spotthedog · January 26, 2008 10:50PM

I'm "spotthedog"

Years ago we would receive tons of free offers for internet providers. We would get a disk for a few

months free service, and we would try them out. One time we got a new offer,and we wanted to

set the account up,but the service wouldn't allow us to use any part of our first, or last names.

I had had a few beers at that time, and my son asked what we should do. I said try "spotthedog"

I use that name where ever I can.

ambro51 · January 26, 2008 11:36PM

AMBRO is for Ambrotype, an early photographic process invented in 1851 and used until the mid 1880's. A glass plate positive image done with wet chemicals on glass.

A beautiful photographic process which Ive used for many years in civil war reenactment photography though for the most part today I am a builder of new Wet plate and Daguerreotype cameras. www.geocities.com/starcameracompany

options26 · January 26, 2008 11:44PM

I use Options to remind me of the great wealth that can be obtained by trading options. I had a great run and probably returned over 700% a year for a couple years. The number at the end is to remind me to never trade again, because thats how many $10,000 bills I lost on one trade, the final trade I ever made.

BigNorange · January 27, 2008 12:31AM

Bignorange-

It's my other hobby. Growing Pumpkins, the kind that grow to over 1500 lbs.

ProofArtworkonCircs · January 27, 2008 2:10PM

should be self explanatory.
I am fascinated by modern varieties. Some proofs have slightly different artwork. If they show up on circulation coins, I find it quite interesting. In that case they are usually more obvious than the average variety and are apt to be scarce. Strangly enough, I do not care much for proofs. To me, a coin to be real must circulate for its face value. NCLT sold at a premium does not interest me.

ddbird · January 27, 2008 2:18PM

Birdie was my parents nickname for me...later d-bird (Dan)..and finally ddbird.

jdillane · January 27, 2008 2:34PM

its my aol and ebay handle....when i tried to set up a handle on AOL it was taken so I used my first initial and the name of my ancestors from Ireland.

Sotty · January 27, 2008 3:30PM

My family and friends called me an old sot because
I drink about 8- 40s of Colt 45 ans a few belts of the
hard stuff every day. My nickname is now Sotty.

cladking · July 11, 2008 7:49AM

SirAnthonyAC · July 11, 2008 8:11AM

My Ex girlfriend used to call me Sir Anthony (I’ll spare you the details, kids could be lurking about!)

and the AC part is both my initials and also happens to stand for Antiquities and Collectables as in my EBay name.

InYHWHWeTrust · July 11, 2008 8:32AM

Since it is the second most common PM question I get

...

YHWH is the Hebrew language designation -- meaning "I AM who I AM." (most often translated "LORD" all caps)

G_d means almost anything today, thus a meaningless term without serious further elaboration. Especially since it appears on our coinage.

I chose the handle as inYHWHwetrust, instead of InGodWeTrust, as YHWH is specific, not generic, and Personal, thus we are persons. (and per the WSC Q.4: "...infinite, eternal, unchangeable in His being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness and truth.")

BillyKingsley · July 11, 2008 8:43AM

Mine is about the least creative of them all-I use my own name. At least I'm likely to never forget it.

My nickname of "El Camino Billy" was given to me by a friend-I'm a big fan of the Chevy El Camino, and I forgot the password for my name by itself on a model car board I post on so I used it one day when I forgot the password, it's stuck since 2001 or so. Most people refer to me by that, actually.

My username on ebay is "flamingsquirellindustries" A long time ago, we had a power outage because a squirrel chewed through the power lines and apparently caught fire. I said "That poor flaming squirrel" and it's stuck. I'm currently looking for someone to make a Super Bee style logo with a gray squirrel instead. I actually love squirrels though and would keep them as pets if I could.

dizzyfoxx · July 11, 2008 8:54AM

<Explain your handle>

Any questions?

direwolf1972 · July 11, 2008 9:06AM

Direwolf is the name of a Grateful Dead song I happen to like.

1972 = the year mint set I was included in.

NHSBaseball · July 11, 2008 9:15AM

NHS- the high school that I had just become the baseball coach at when I joined the boards (still there). Dizzy- I am glad to see that my guess as to the origins of your handle was
correct!

FilthyBroke · July 11, 2008 9:19AM

Just a whacky thing my brother said to me one day, that he was filthy broke.

I don't know where he comes up with some of this stuff!

lope208 · July 11, 2008 9:21AM

My last name is Antalek and in 7th grade my friends decided to call me "antalope".
After about 2 days it got shortened to "Lope" and it stuck ever since, even through college.

BXBOY143 · July 11, 2008 9:32AM

DoubleEagle59 · July 11, 2008 9:36AM

the '59' is my birthyear (1959) and also, to us avid golfers, shooting a '59' is as elusive as owning an 1804 silver dollar!!

the 'doubleeagle' obviously is for owning Gold and again, relating to golf, it is scoring a '2' on a par 5 (which I actually did once!! Driver - 4 iron).

ProofRainbowRoosevelt · July 11, 2008 9:51AM

I love Proof Roosevelts. And I really love Rainbow coins. I guess the name explains it all.

cmerlo1 · July 11, 2008 10:36AM

Back in 1999, when I first discovered eBay, I tried to register as cmerlo (my name is Christian Merlo). That username was taken, so I tried cmerlo1, which worked. I later found out that the reason cmerlo was taken was because my aunt Cathy had already registered that name...
