Why did you pick your Avatar

It's a pattern.

I think the avatar Kirkuleez has is a "pattern" for the V Nickel.

EDIT: Ahhhh! You beat me to the punch Log Potato.

 

And that's a fact.....Jack.

 

It may interest you to know that there is also a Judd 1690 pattern that is dated 1882 and essentially the same design that was used on the 1883 V-nickel. (I have been out-bid on the Judd 1690 a couple times).

 

Because it is Scottish, lahk aye:

 

Because I seem to like any Franklin, so I cropped the date to 19__

 

My current and permanent avatar is in memory of Koen, a member on this board killed in a car accident last year. I exchanged quite a few PM's and sent him several coins to help him get started in US coins which he had a huge passion for despite living in Belgium. He especially loved the Morgan Dollar so when he was killed I edited an image of a Morgan to include "In Memory of Koen" on it. I have no intention of ever changing it.

 

I picked mine because I met her once and she is hot

Noemie Lenoir a troubled soul of mixed origin but notwithstanding very Hot

 

I saw the movie "Boogie Nights" recently and I liked the Dirk Diggler sign. Working on a .gif one now to look like the sign blowing up in the movie.

 

The J-1690 had eluded me too. If memory serves me correct, there are a total of 34 Liberty nickel patterns, 31 regular issue proofs and the 1913 of course.

 

When I was a member of the CCF, I had this avatar ... see below

=> it's an antique beer-tray from the 40's or 50's that I currently keep mounted on my work-office wall (it's very, very cool) ... however, I had the avatar for over a year, plus it reminds me of some pretty bad-vibes ...

=> that's why I'm now trying to keep my avatars fresh & rotated!! (man, who gets kicked out of a coin forum??!! ... *whateva*) ... my wife thinks I'm some sort of wild mix between a crazy alcoholic and a geeky coin-freak ... ehhh?

Cheers, coin brothers!!!

 

Since I was there, lots of people got kicked out including you. But I wouldn't worry about it now as you're here at a new place with a fresh start. It's the "High Life" again!

 

This is the cheapest avatar I could find.

 

Comes from the motherland.

 

I really enjoy looking at Peace Dollars.

They have simple lines, a neat history and are the essence of COOL!

 

Cause we're winning the series this year!

 

About 6 years ago I was posting on another forum that didn't allow you to add pictures (except your avatar). We were talking about new purchases and this was my newest. I didn't change it for a while because I hadn't bought anything, but when I did people said that they associated me with this SLQ. It's an almost dateless 1917 T1, but it has character & the blood line of an incredible series. Its condition makes it humble, but whose hands it could have passed through make it history.

 

Good! I can live with that........

 

Gotta love the 'Cat'........
