Would it be considered foreplay

Foreplay to what, our next hole filler?

Have a Great Day!

No.

She'd be saying

"There, there, it's ok dear!"

"He didn't damage your precious little trink....uh coin!"

Maybe until she asks you for a magnifying glass to help her see it!

Speaking of BUSTS there Mr Broadstruck...

Yeah, if Carol still patrolled here, I think Broadstruck just might get "busted" ...

rld14 · February 23, 2011 11:10AM

Larry,

Mr. Broadstruck has seen an image that I am referencing...

SeaEagleCoins · February 23, 2011 11:11AM

ya notice how no one who has posted so far has really even mentioned that the medal/token is pretty cool?

Reminds me of the 1st Type 1 SLQ I ever owned... when i first got it in hand, where do you think I looked first?

Broadstruck · February 23, 2011 11:16AM

<< [Yeah, if Carol still patrolled here, I think Broadstruck just might get "busted" ...

This is coin related as it's an actual 1923-1925 circa rare coin dealer store card advertising token.

It's been kinda gloomy on here lately.

We do this all the time some of you should try it!

SeaEagleCoins · February 23, 2011 11:36AM

this could put a whole new twist in how to "put your 2c in"

rld14 · February 23, 2011 11:58AM

My girlfriend, who has a sense of humor that is at LEAST as sick as mine (And if you know me in person......) has a collection of, ahem, "Altered" large cents.

ricko · February 23, 2011 11:41PM

There is an amazing amount of coins with nude art on them, and also a great many 'altered' coins. About a year ago, I received a large cent that had the 'One Cent' altered to say something else. Cheers, RickO

AnkurJ · February 24, 2011 12:07AM

Ohhh boy....

I just knew everyone would have a field day with this after I saw the first post!

mrearlygold · February 24, 2011 12:40AM

Absolutely

Hey, what is that called? I want one!

questor54 · February 24, 2011 12:47AM

Uh Guys - You do know that is mother and son, right?

SeaEagleCoins · February 24, 2011 12:50AM

You put your 2c in
You pull your 2c out
You put your 2c in
and you shake it all about
You do the Hokey Pokey
Then you turn the coin around
That's what it's all about

might make a good cover song for DH, LS and the rest of the numismatic rock stars in their next gig

SeaEagleCoins · February 24, 2011 12:51AM

<< Uh Guys - You do know that is mother and son, right? >>

damn... now you go and spoil it all ...and make it so we all need to go see a shrink

Lakesammman · February 24, 2011 12:55AM

Looks like a teacher, student relationship.

There's a lady here in WA doing jail time for that.

Billet7 · February 24, 2011 2:10AM

On a serious note the coin has a very pleasing look to it. The composition is well executed, it is very nicely stylized (Art Nouveau I would think.) Whoever designed it was a master (No pun intended.)

I too believe the coin represents a mother and child. I believe they are naked to show that they are without pretense and are unguarded. They are entirely opened up to the other (emotionally and metaphorically, not physically) and are enjoying the time spent with one another completely, with nothing hiding (no lies, no reserves and no hidden agendas.) The mother is spending the time illuminating the child's mind, as represented by the lamp, and providing the instruction and resources needed for him to continue sucessfully in his intended path (represented by the book of coin knowledge on her lap.) I also think the plants directly behind the child's head represent growth, youth and a mind that is well on it's way to numismatic maturity.

And on a lighter note....that is one HUGE monetary unit!

FredWeinberg · February 24, 2011 2:15AM

I see some rub on the high points.

RWB · February 24, 2011 2:26AM

A nice allegorical scene.

messydesk · February 24, 2011 5:22AM

Composition and execution are far better than anything the mint has made for a long time -- and this was only for a store card! Do we know if the design was a "stock" item that would have been reused for whomever wanted it on a coin or medal, or was it made specifically or exclusively for this dealer?

SeaEagleCoins · February 24, 2011 5:30AM

okey dokey --- here is another tune for you all (and it's all Broadstuck's fault...)

Mama's got a squeeze box she wears on her chest
When he looks at coins he doesn't need no rest
Cause he's searchin all nite
And his helper's alright
Momma's got a squeeze box so Junior never sleeps at night

C'mon n squeeze me
C'mon n teach me
I know what I want to do
Gotta variety to show to you

Hey momma with your squeeze box
Tell me if I'm wrong or I'm right

I know... I'm a bad boy... I will go take a time out and think about what I have done

rld14 · February 24, 2011 6:37AM

Since we're doing lyrics, what about some Lords of Acid lyrics?

While we're at it, someone post a high-res T1 SLQ please.

Rick, if you have it I want it! Those are what the GF collects.

Lakesammman · February 24, 2011 7:05AM

Mother and child?? I thought it was the Goddess "illuminating" (ie. teaching) the youth (hence the lamp), similar to the Ed. note??

PerryHall · February 24, 2011 7:15AM

<<

It's allegorical---HISTORY INSTRUCTING YOUTH is printed below the engraving. So that would be a teacher and her student.

Lakesammman · February 24, 2011 7:24AM

HISTORY INSTRUCTING YOUTH is printed below the engraving

Appropriate for that note - so with the medal, it's the Goddess Numismita instructing the youth regarding what he can get for his money??

edix2001 · February 24, 2011 7:28AM

<< instructing the youth regarding what he can get for his money??

>>

So, she's reading from her price list?

magikbilly · February 24, 2011 7:39AM

Hi,

that looks like a very uncomfortable way to hold the ANA Lamp of Knowledge or whatever it is called.

Looks like a typical numismatist.
