<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 559408, member: 4552"]I really don't see why you should doubt the story. As you mentioned the seller did not use that as a selling point. And many of the famous criminals of the 20's and 30's were people you know. They too had to buy food, clothing, go places like people that were not crimials. Remember John Dillinger. He went to movies but probably shouldn't that last time. My Dad used to drive trucks for Al Capone when he first got to Chicago. At times he was paid by Big Al. Now if he would have kept that money, in the future, now, who would believe it? </p><p>People like Pretty Boy Floyd, Baby faced Nelson, Al Capone, John Dillinger, Machine gun McGurn and lots and lots others were still just people. They too handled coins you know. Some of your coins may well have been in Al Capone's pockets. </p><p>As a kid we used to go behind the Music Box Movie House and look for bullets. If we did find any, who would have belived us.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
