Explain your USERNAME and AVATAR on this thread...

[BuffaloBoy]

Hello folks, many of us have very creative usernames. I thought since I was not doing nothing right now, it would be nice to see why some people chose their usernames on here.

I'll start off.

Many people think that I am from Buffalo, NY. I am not from Buffalo, NY.

I chose this username because when I was a young boy, probrably 5 or 6, my grandfather gave me a few coins, and in them, some dateless buffalo nickels. I thought that the buffalo nickel was the most interesting coin, and I started collecting them.

Needless to say, buffalo nickels with no date are only worth face value, maybe add a penny or two.

The buffalo nickel still remains my favorite coin to collect, plus, who knows what goodies you can find in nickel boxes...

[bearbqd]

Mine originated from a game of bowling one day many years ago. My nickname has always been Bear. My wife ( girlfriend at the time) was entering names for the four of us bowling and was putting up nicknames or twists to our names. At first she spelled BearB for my nickname and first letter of my last name. As soon as she looked at it she said "Hey" and added the Q like barbecue. It stuck and later I became Bear B qued
My avatar is of my first and best condition Union Officers Sword Belt Plate found in 2005.

 

[kleinerschmitter]

Mine's not very creative, last name's Kleinschmidt, coaches always called me schmitty or kleinerschmitter in high school and college sports so it kinda stuck. My avatar is of me at my graduation party from Texas A&M, I'm holding a cake but I cropped that out.

[SilverSharpie]

I mark my coins with a silver sharpie so I thought my name was appropriate. If any of you Socal boys and girls find a coin with a silver edge and the date crossed off... You'll know where it came from.
