Have you read through the rules?

I'm not sure so please don't take this as gospel, but would assume that as long as it's not vulgar or obviously offensive ("cartoonish nudity" is rather vague imo), the least that would happen is its removed. With that said though, unless in some rush to post, perhaps it would be best to simply wait for a mod to see this. If none respond within a day or so, just send a private message.

 

yes it shows nipples and a full female butt

 

I read rules but I didnt see anything about nudity on coins, and no I am in no rush to post

 

you all may know what I am referring too it's a heads tails coin but its not one that I can find searching google

 

My guess is, if you have to ask, you shouldn't post it.

 

Was just a thought.....

 

ok i'll wait for a mod to respond until then I will continue too look for it. I think its a cool coin as I was told by a vet he carried one around in his pocket similar if not the same in Vietnam he got a chuckle out of it when I showed it to him

 

these seem modest enough.

 

I personally wouldn't post it with out blurring. My thinking is because it's intentionally sexually suggestive where as nudity on other coins and medals are not. Note the medals previously posted and the intent.

 

Forget it.. PM me with the image and I will let you know!

 

Is it one of those Arkansas quarters edited?

answer your question ?

 

Eric is probably referring to one of those "heads (woman's breasts) tails (woman's ass)" coins.

The fine line is what is "art" and what is out and out prurient. The above medals are art.

 

I think I have seen the first Liberty, flying eagle quarters pictured here, which before being redesigned, had something of a stacking problem.

Pretty sure that 'heads or tails' token would be inappropriate for CT. In fact I think a version of it has been posted and removed in the past from another thread that was in regards to showing nudity on coins and medals. Given the overt sexual connotation on that particular token it's really not appropriate for many of our younger members as well as potentially being offensive to others.

 

I've seen them on Ken Potters adult coins portion of his sales website I believe. Even he has a disclaimer before entering so I think they're a definate no go on CT.
