Mine is basically because of a great passion of mine; Bowhunting whitetails. If I had to give up bow hunting or coin collecting the coins would be gone! I love to meditate in the woods

I own mine, 1837 Large Cent from my 7070. One of my first pictures I took and admittedly, not one of my best. But, it's been there for over 2 years, so why not leave it.

I use the Peace dollar avatar provided within CCF, a beautiful design, until I'm capable of taking a decent picture of my favorite coin from my collection, but that is taking a while - my technique needs polishing!

I'm still on the fence on what to use for my avatar.

I own my avatar coin. It's not so easy to find an error coin that has attractive eye-appeal. This off-center error seems to match well with the design.

My Avatar is a part of my collection, it was my first cap and rays eight reales. Still one of my favorites, even though I have added a few more of them since then.

I guess I like mine because I don't currently own a Peace dollar. If I was to own one it would either be the 21 in high relief, 1928 p, or 34-s.

I created mine from somebody else's photograph, but I do own a coin bearing this bust of Lady Liberty.
I had always wanted to have a "five-dollar gold piece," and it wasn't until 2003 that I found they were more affordable than I had thought. I bought an 1886-S Half Eagle (in AU condition for $165), my first gold coin and the one that turned me into a more serious collector.
So, besides the prosaic fact that it is very pretty, that's why I chose it for my avatar.
