What's the latest word about showing images of coins that are or might be for sale?

I heard there was a new rule but wanted to seek confirmation...i heard that until further notice we can show images of coins that are or might be for sale but we just can't essentially promote them.
Is that the new rule?

How would anyone know they were for sale unless we said they were?

Set Registry - any PCGS Registry coin you want
Coin Forum - not if it's for sale

Not true.........any coin can be shown on the coin forum, so long as there is no reference to it being for sale.
A least, that's according to both Carol and sportsmoderator.
<< <i>BST - any coin you want to sell

That's my preference as well.
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

I concur.

I agree with this.

How much ?
That is, unless we chose not to.

HadleyDog, I do believe that's an old friend of mine.

This is precisely what I was told that the new rule was (or that the new interpretation of the old rule was).
Can anyone substantiate this by linking a thread or copying the content of a PM from Carol or sportsmoderator?
It would be appreciated.

[PS I'm not trying to bring up old discussions of the merits of the heart of the topic, I'm just seeking substantiation of the new rule or the new interpretation. I could also be seeking, in the same vein as GSAguy, simply what is a more refined articulation of a previous interpretation and not a wholly new interpretation, with regard, of course, to the specific issue of whether or not a person can post an image of a coin that is "for sale". Dig it?]

Finally someone who gets right to the point. I think we can all agree on this.
However, I think that the intention of the rules are to keep the threads on topics of some numismatic interest for discussion and/or educational purposes, and to keep the "for sale" ads in the BS&T Forum.

Good point.
From what I've seen you can display your coolest coins anytime you want in any forum!

I truly do enjoy posting images of my coins (often because I'm proud of the photography) but I can find other things to do that won't get people who I like, upset.
Like the Borg on TV/Star Trek NG...resistance is futile! ...change is inevitable. Nothing stays the same forever. Progress is inevitable and as rules become better defined, we should embrace them or else we are just bumping our heads against the wall. ~ Locutious Murphius ~

"I don't need to lie about something like this. I cam slime around and come right up next to the truth and bump it and grind it, and trade places with exterior molecules of it without ever having the sun shine through that thin veneer of the truth that separates it from damnable lies.
Because.......I'm a lawyer."
Of course, there's no pleasing some people, Frank. Part of the problem is that some people lack the happy gene. Everything is half empty for them.
Well, if you post pics somewhere else, not wanting to break rules here, if indeed such rules exist and are in force, please provide a link to the pic. I like seeing coin pics that are of themselves interesting works of art

Same here.
Post pictures and share some background and history about it. I believe that if someone started to go overboard on the pictures and starts using hype then they would be flamed into submission.
