<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldFinger1969, post: 24496675, member: 73489&quot;]Well, I saw the &quot;Double Eagles&quot; issue of <b><i>LARAMIE </i></b>and it was pretty good.&nbsp; I was never really into Westerns as a kid -- more 1960&#039;s sitcoms -- but I can see why kids 5-10 years older than me would be into these shows.&nbsp; Interesting to see Robert Fuller (still alive !) starring on the show; I remember him in the early-1970&#039;s on <b><i>EMERGENCY !</i></b></p><p><b><i><br /></i></b></p><p>Anyway, the plot was that a group of bandits killed a guy and they forged his signature and then withdrew $25,000 at the local bank (<i>who allows such a withdrawl based on a piece of paper ?</i>).&nbsp; The bank didn&#039;t have enough paper, but the bank manager said they just got a shipment of Double Eagles (can&#039;t recall if he said from San Franciscio; the show is set in Wyoming) and if the thieves didn&#039;t mind, he&#039;d give them coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>The thieves then try and disrupt the posse going after them by dropping coins and hoping to turn the posse members against one another (it worked to an extent bu then fizzled).</p><p><br /></p><p>I saw a goldish coin at one point but it could have been those chocolate pieces wrapped in gold foil. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; No close-up to see if it was actual or copies of Liberty Head Double Eagles (or Saints impersonating Liberty Heads).</p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="color: #0000ff">Episode aired November 20, 1962 -- about 2 months after I was born.</span></b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
