CNG Auction Pickups?

Curses, Clio!

I'm sorry you lost that coin. It's an important acquisition if you need a lead singer for your heavy metal coin band.



Here's mine

"Clio" has certainly caused more than a few of us some heartache, but I would love to see the collection he or she is assembling.

 

That video is funny and disturbing all at once. I am not so sure I want to bring some of my coin portraits to life like that. It has a twilight zone feel to it.

 

TIF => thanks for another awesome coin-concert!! (now I feel all festive)

Z-bro ... yah, I also had that coin on my potential list (if Clio nailed it, then I'm glad it wasn't my primary target => the dude is a coin monster!!)

... but there are plenty o' fish in the sea, my friends ... plenty o' fish

 

Yeah, that's our TIF. Funny. But disturbing.

When I was young, teachers explained how great the advance was when letters were invented and hieroglyphs were replaced. The sounds of two dozen symbols replaced the myriad glyphs and supposedly made written communication easier. Now, we are going in the opposite direction. We have to learn many emojis (modern day hieroglyphs). I have no idea what "" means. Do you?

 

I use my browsers built in emo babblefish function (which for me means rolling my mouse over the emo")

 

Beautiful coins!!! It seems those that had successful bids on CNG scored some super winners.

I lost out on my bids, or simply let one or two pass me by....waiting to well after Christmas to 'get back in the game'

 

The 'roll eyes' suggest saying or hearing something you can't believe you just did because it is so ridiculous like...'yeah right!'....or simply to expression of exasperation.

That's my take anyway.

 

It can also be used to show that the poster is looking up at what is written above.

 

Hmm, That didn't occur to me TIF

 

Now that emojis have been recognized as words by the Oxford English dictionary we need a better organization of our new words than the gang presentation of CT. Chinese dictionaries organize by the number of strokes but our new words here might be separate by color, eye styles, attire or some other characteristics that would allow someone shopping for just the right new-style vocabulary item. We also must have an International understanding of the meanings and context for use for each of the multitude. As a Senior Citizen, I must also insist on large type emojis so I can tell with easy whether I am being smiled at, winked at or if I should be offended. I call on TIF, our Director of Communication Arts, to design and publish coin based emojis suitable for use on Coin Talk with common meanings needed here like "Oh, Steve!", "Nice reverse", What were you thinking?" and "Looks Fake". Let me know when you have a couple dozen Coinojis ready for use.

 

ahahaha => I use that almost every time ... but until just now, I have always assumed it meant



"hey, look up there at that beautiful coin"

 

You kid, but that sounds like a fun project . Added to the list. I doubt Peter will want to add the results to CoinTalk's existing (and strange) emoji collection so I will post them on my website for easy right-click-copy access.

 

Is there an emoji that tells people not to bid on any Greek Silver in the upcoming Triton? I need a big one with animation. I am afraid some of us fish in the same pond and want to emoji people away.

 

Nice coin stevex6! You will have to see if you can find it in Crawford's list of over strikes. He lists several Cr 110/3s in his group 91 on pg. 115.

I settled for a bronze ax (they called it a gouge).

BRONZE AGE SOCKETTED GOUGE, 2nd millennium BC
A European bronze gouge with curved edge, lateral flanges folded over to form a socket. 267 grams, 95mm (3 3/4").
Provenance - Property of a professional; acquired on the European art market in the 1980s.

I also picked up a few gaming pieces.

A group of four astragalus gaming pieces comprising: two bone pieces with lead fill; one made of bone with no fill; one made of lead. 122 grams total, 32-34mm (1 1/4").

 

or this maybe?

Maybe this

 

maybe something a bit more threatening.........or hypnosis perhaps.
