which is supposed to take place in the 1870s. Jarred, who appears to be in his mid- to late-30s, meets up with an old college pal. While in college (which would presumably have been late 1850s or early 1860s), they cut a silver dollar into two jigsaw pieces, and agreed that they would fit the two pieces together when they met again. The only problem was, they had two pieces of a Morgan dollar, which was first struck in 1878. No wonder they didn't show the date of the coin.

Matt Dillon was much more of a bad ass in the early episodes. Kaleva Apr 2012 #6
