Watch the beginning, now jump to 6:20 to see 8- circulated Seated Liberty Dimes flying at Bob Ollinger, then just to make things right, 8 more dimes to finish him off. $1.60...Keep the change Bob. April 28, 1881

 

 

Ollinger:I sure wish you'd try, son. I got my shotgun full of 16 thin dimes. Enough to spread you out like a crazy woman's quilt.

 

Fotenote: Wild West Tech tested the shotgun loaded with dimes and found it would not penetrate a swine carcass. Bob Ollinger lied about having his shotgun loaded with silver dimes. He had standard 00 Buck in his 10 ga. shotgun.

 

Note: No where does it express that Seated Liberty Dimes were used, I just assume they were, heck, even in 1881 Capped Bust dimes were being collected.

About the only worthwhile thing that Kristopherson ever did IMHO....

James Cobern was fabulous, and of course, Slim Pickens.......

You got any dimes? Somebody's gotta go back and get a sh*tload of dimes!

 

Lyle: How 'bout some more beans, Mr. Taggart?

Taggart: [fans his hat in the air] I'd say you've had enough!
