Beautiful certificate from the Playboy Enterprises, Inc. issued in 1982. This historic document was printed by the American Banknote Company and has an ornate border around it with a vignette of the nude Miss February 1971, Willy Rey and the Playboy bunny logo. This item has the printed signatures of the Company’s Chairman ( Hugh Hefner ) and Secretary and President and is over 26 years old.

Can the vignette be posted that was also "edited" ? I don't understand the model being removed either the stock certificate she was holding completely cover her up ! Maybe we should cover all female vignettes with breasts with sheets !
If it were considered acceptable for "The Engraver's Line" on page 165 "as a Historic Document Vignette" by Gene Hessler that's good enough for me !

 

You can PM it to me Connor, I'd love to see it !!!

 

Connor...

One of the rules of the Site is that if it is not shown or said in a 1950's situation, it is not allowed. It is a wonderful vignette and those of us who have the book can enjoy it whenever we want!

Rickie,
Is this the rule your refering to ?
Coin Talk Rules –

1 - There will be absolutely no cursing or swearing allowed. Any words that wouldn't have been aired in a 1950s television show, are unwelcome here as well.

Only 1950 s rule I can Find ? Doesn't apply to my post ,read them all what is the spesific rule that you are talkinking about ?

Connor, we have people on this forum of all ages, and while I saw nothing wrong in your original post, it very easily could have offended somebody.
I loved the picture you posted, for more than obvious reasons...
But, you have to learn to keep it kid friendly, and you always have to be careful of what you say and do. Do I like it? Nope? But it is something we have to live with, this is a coin/paper money forum, and I think we should keep it that way

 

Ladies and Gentlemen, in the interests of keeping June from fainting, Ward from having a heart attack, Wally from having something unmentionable, and the Beaver getting prurient ideas in his head, we must must must engage in a bit of self censorship, that way Doug doesn't have to engage the infernal Edit button.

I have addressed said matter of self censorship previously herein in this very forum by taking it upon my good self to cover such "offensive" or "suggestive" parts of anatomical features:

 

I can still see the bottom of her legs. If I were a Rhode Island shopkeeper in 1890, I might be mildly offended by that. I think the rule should be changed to "keep it clean, like a 1890s Katzenjammer Kids cartoon."

 

Connor...

Many feel the rule is a bit tight as do I. More so in this time seems like what was provocative in those days is common place these days. I have been tempted to post such items that are tasteful, however, somewhat adult in content.
SM hit right on the head, administration does not want the "Beaver Cleaver's" on the site to run around with a "woody" and gather all their little friends for a circle party...have to respect that.

We all understand how you feel...I am looking at the vignette now and see nothing wrong with it. I just want to know where that woman's sister is!!


RickieB

 

You right !

I'll let it go ,after all it's not my place to fight with the mods( woildn't help anyway). SM is funny with the added captions,he made his point well & so did you.
We have the book & if I see one I'll have the vignette also !
Bob

 

Nice vignette connor and I have have seen it on scpritology.com. Spelling may be wrong but you can figure it out.

I knew it would get editted and understand the rules and also feel it is easier for the mods not to have to pick and choose.

 

Would you agree that they would also edit the Educational Series as well ?Or keep their children out of museums .Remember the past Attorney General who would put sheets over paintings & statues @ his public office ?
Children copy their parents reactions to art good or bad in the mind of the beholder.
But were here to share our hobby with friends & I'm letting it go !

 

conner, the rules may or may not fully address the image posted, but let me tell you how quickly i had to jump out of my seat at work to block the monitor as i quickly hit the back button on my browser! If i was caught looking at those images while at work - i would have been unemployed lol

Yes, the vingette on the stock is considered art, i agree... but not all art is 1950's acceptible lol

 

WOW..that was a close call Daggarjon,last thing I want is to see you on the unemployment line ..LOL !

 

Heck, can't go back too far, the style in the 18th century was decidedly more in the manner of showing feminine charms, so we cannot keep it clean like a pre-french revolution salon furnishing.

Just wonderring, why a shopkeeper, why Rhode Island? I can see why 1890s (late victorian age)

The one thing all styles seem to have in common is a disdain for the style that they replaced.

 

I agree daggar and it could also get you sued if a female employee happened to be standing there.

Connor - I love art but some art is not appropiate for young kids. Think of how some people can cliam anything is art just like people wave the freedom of speach flag. Some art and some language is not appropiate for kids. I am fine with the note you posted but don't be surprised if others are not.

 

I really am suprised at the responce,considering what's in Museums/ on the internet ,this is so trivial I think the image is totally acceptable to even a child ! (IMHO) Have you seen the vignette ?

 

I enjoy museams and I know what you can find on the internet but as a parent of young kids I monitor what my kids are exposed to as best I can. The vignettes are really really nice and the ed. Note I already said is fine but let's face it - miss whatever 1974 is what it is and there is a reason you have to be 18 to buy that mag. In a store. I am not arguing with you just trying to explain that parents that allow their kids to visit cointalk may not appreciate the images. They may also find it hard to understand the context as they may not be involved in the hobby.

We like involving younger people in the hobby so we live by the rules.

I really hope you understand it is not personal.

 

Understood ,Iknow it's not personal ,just my opinion,we are all entitled too our own ,that's what make this country to live in or best place to come too or visit,"Freedom of Speech":bow:

 

The simple fact is, the owner/administrator of this forum has elected to keep the forum from devolving into a free-for-all expression by many individuals. Inasmuch as many if not all of us have felt oppressed at certain points, I like to believe that Peter and Doug have really done a great job of keeping this forum friendly and worthwhile.

However, that doesn't remove me from the opportune moment to poke fun at our 1950's atmosphere by posting images like I did above, and drawing reference to Beaver Cleever though. Why not have a bit of fun, all the while keep the forum above the fray of ignominy.
