<p>[QUOTE=&quot;flyers10, post: 558979, member: 4589&quot;]I won a 1857 Flying Eagle Cent on Ebay.&nbsp; Average circulated nothing really special.&nbsp; The seller put a note with it which was kind of cool.&nbsp; Probably total BS but pretty neat just he same.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;In the early thirties &quot;Pretty Boy Floyd&quot; was a notoriois criminal.</p><p>We lived in Bruner Hill, a street car station between Tulsa and Sand Springs, Ok.&nbsp; We lived in the last house of the residential section, with a dirt road running beside our house that led up into the hills.</p><p>One night someone knocked on our kitchen door and my mother went to answer it.&nbsp; There was a man standing there looking to be in a great hurray.&nbsp; He wanted directions to get back on the main highway.&nbsp; My mother gave him the directions and said, &quot;I hope that helps you.&quot;&nbsp; He said, &quot;Thanks&quot;, and reached into his pocket. grabbed a bunch of change and handed it to her.&nbsp; Some of them dropped on the ground.</p><p>The next day my mother and dad read the &quot;Pretty Boy Floyd&quot; had been in the area and there was an all points bulletin out on him.&nbsp; My mother recognized the picture in the paper as that of the man who had been at our kitchen door the night before.</p><p>I went outside and looked on the ground to see if any of the coins that I heard drop were still there.&nbsp; I found a nickel, a dime and this 1857 Eagle Penny on the cement.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Seller didn&#039;t mention this when selling it so it didn&#039;t influence my purchase.&nbsp; Probably total BS but nice to think this coin may have this history associated with it but I highly doubt it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
