Why did you pick your Avatar

Its great that you can change your Avatar as often as you want..i think its fun to see what Stevex6 has on his Avatar..

Its pretty.


But at times I would like this one -

 

Great obverse on that follis Eng :smile

(I chose my avatar because my pseudo is Rasputin, evidently :bangg

 

I have no better reason than I like the coin that was one of my recent purchases.

 

My daughters are my life.

I can enjoy coin collecting and everything else because of them.

 

One of the only coin pics I have...

 

The last coin I bought

 

my avatar is in homage of the knights templar.....

 

I went to the Jersey shore and saw "LUCY" for the first time in years so I thought I would share the photo I took. I'll probley change it in a few days when my 2013 Proof ASE show up

 

I didn't chose mine because I don't know how.:help!A:

 

I chose my avatar because it is, on most days, my favorite piece. On other days I prefer one of the other pieces in my collection, but before I get a chance to change the avatar, my favorite comes back to the one that is already there.

My avatar introduced me to a Coin Collecting World.-Hobby of a King!

>I like Morgans.

>I like CC Morgans.

>I like Morgan toners.

>I like this one because I bought it from a friend.

>I particularly like this one because I paid about $700 less than another same-grade, similarly-toned 83-CC Morgan that sold on eBay just to weeks before my purchase.

Take your pick!

I picked my avatar because of the resemblance to me.

 

I picked mine because I bought the painting for 400.00, the artist got famous, a couple years later I sold it for 1500.00 and bought a pcgs st. gaudens.

 

Franklin?
Why not.
He has a lot to do with US coinage.
Not a President but lived a nearly mythical life!

 

Hes right Eng thats a great avatar.
Rasputin is a bit harsh hey Dionysos. I am surprised you didn't choose the Super Thasos Super Stater as the avatar.

 

I picked my Avatar because it shows my screen name and the types of copper coins I like to collect. Here is a larger version

 

I miss my dogs - I loved those big fluffy buddies.

My avatar is Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man, from the Italian €1 piece. It's a euro coin (which is what I use every day), and I like that design.
