I'm guessing probably after Al "Scar Face" Capone?

 

Looks like it came out of a box of Fruity Pebbles.

 

Tony Montana

 

Ahh... It was a 50/50 guess for me, I figured they went with Al Capone on that one. That 1888-O is one little friend I would like to say hello to sometime.

 

1858 LL Flying Eagle 40$

 

I rarely spend more than spot for silver, but the toning on this one made me want to buy it just to see the other side. I spent $25 on this purchase and hope it looks good in hand. @Paddy54 @SuperDave

 

Interesting that it's in German

 

Oh, yes. I live in Germany

 

that explains it , big market for U.S Coinage in Germany?

I like seeing the German renderings of oh-so-familiar English ("white-headed sea-eagle"?). I'd consider looking for one myself, except that I'm already drowning in "interesting odds and ends". No place to display it.

I'll be really interested to see what the ASE looks like when you get it...
