Message:: [QUOTE="Yokozuna, post: 951936, member: 26087"]Here is one of the few known examples of the “Hooters” Buffalo Nickel. The obverse of the coin show the famous composite portrait of three Native Americans: Chief <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dewey_Beard_(Iron_Tail)" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dewey_Beard_(Iron_Tail)" rel="nofollow">Dewey Beard</a>, Chief <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Moons" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Moons" rel="nofollow">Two Moons</a> and Chief Big Tree, but the portrait is obviously sweating. The reverse of the coin displays the winged buffalo and the unique “H” mint mark for “Hooters.” Although several hundred thousand examples of the coin were struck over an 11 year period, few remain as they were used as tips for the famous Hooters waitresses. Most of these 5 cent tips were tossed in the trash or thrown back in the face of the average male Hooters patron after sexist remarks were made over and over and over. If fact more than a few coins had to be surgically removed from varying body openings when things when “Too far.” In other words, avoid any Hooters Nickels with odd stains. In a Mint press release officials stated, “Just what the heck were we thinking!”  [ATTACH]90070.vB[/ATTACH] For more information on the Hooters Nickel and other oddities, contact <a href="mailto:Albert_Fish@embarqmail.com">Albert_Fish@embarqmail.com</a> Thanks,Ben[/QUOTE]
