Al Capone
Born
Al Capone, 1931
The profile-and-front pair carries his rogue's gallery number, C 28169, and shows Chicago's most famous gangster in a sharp suit and patterned tie. Years of bootlegging and gang wars never put him away for long; federal tax investigators did. In October 1931 a jury convicted him of income tax evasion, he was sentenced to 11 years, and he served time in Atlanta and on Alcatraz.
