    Either a lack of thought upon my part or the wanting to want to come across friendly as if I was at a coin club meeting at a pub.

    900fine doggone it people like me

    Well, mine's not as colorful or imaginative as most others, but here goes...

    .900 fine means 90% pure (gold or silver).

    I just thought it was interesting that the Mint put the purity on Trade dollars. I thought it looked kinda cool, so ... here I am ! 900fine !

    ps - If someone shows up as 420grains, you'll know it's my evil twin Skippy ! :rolleyes:

    Mine is my hometown, little ol' Short Gap, West Virginia. It is combined with Bob, which is from my middle name Robert. My mom came up with it out of the blue years ago when I was first creating an ebay account It just stuck, and I pretty much use it for everything now because I like it.

    I played nintendo games with my boy for years. There was a character named Linx that I would choose to try and compete with him. Yes, I lost most battles but the memories will last forever.

  21. clembo

    clembo A closed mind is no mind

    Started with ebay. My first name is Dan and people began referring to me as Danbo from the Rambo movies. When I signed up on ebay there was already a danbo and I did not want to be danbo2. Last name is Clemens so I went with clembo.
    I am now clembo all over the place and sub as a painter for a living. Checks are made out to Clembo's Painting.

    Could probably change my name at this point as so many refer to me as clembo.

    I do have an alter ego though. Occasionally I go by the name of Ogie. Comes from the movie "Slapshot". Ogie Oglethorpe is one mean dude but I'm actually a nice guy. Just love hockey.
