Thanks alot everyone for doin this  I know I'm not the only one whos thinking "So thats what that coin is" lol And yes I agree Gary that it does make it easier to remember by the avatar. But if I'm not mistaken Lim changed his avatar and so far I dont think theres been many problems remembering who he is  If you want another go for it. We will get used to your new one just like we are your old |

I am from Buffalo as I still cringe when I hear "wide right". Anyways, I found this toned nickel, photographed it, and then I started playing with the colors via some of the photoshop programs. This is one of many editions that I finished off with... Image:  buffaloEZ.jpg95.36 KB Edited by zakgold

Mine does change from time to time, just for a bit of fun.
At present it is a German Proof 10 Euro Coin, one of my favs.

My avatar is a Clark, Gruber, & Co. five dollar gold piece. C,G, and Co. was the major assay company in Colorado at the start of the gold rush in 1859. Their supply of gold came from the Pike's Peak gold district around Denver (not the Pike's Peak area, that was in the 1890s)and since Colorado was only a territory at the time, they set up a private mint for gold coinage.
The reason that I chose this avatar is the fact that my dad grew up in the shadow of Pikes Peak in Manitou Springs and C, G, and Co. coins are the only ones to depict Pike's Peak. To this day, that area is one of the most scenic parts of the US I have ever visited.

My picture is the OBVERSE (eagle side) of my favorite counterfeit Cap and Ray Eight Reale. This one is an 1834 Zs OM but there is another pairing dated 1842 Zs OM. The eagle is thin so I refer to it as a "Chicken Eagle". It is one of the most widely circulated and believable of the forgeries listed in Riddell. It was made before 1844 and contains 70% silver. They are still very common and appear in collections and shops as real all the time.
Just in case anyone was wondering - in Mexico the OBVERSE of the coin is the side that shows the Aztec National symbol and the name of the country - not the date side with the Cap and Rays. That is just opposite to the US convention.

well mine is a 1916-D Mercury dime it is the coin that I would some day love to own. but I have so many coins and US proof sets that I want to get that I can not save up the money for it yet. I might see about tryig to save enought to get one next year but I a sure it will keep going up and will be harder to get. So mine is of my dream coin |
