<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JCro57, post: 8238748, member: 92083&quot;]This U.S. 1892 World&#039;s Columbian Exposition Half Dollar is in great condition. Normally these &quot;Opium&quot; coins are very worn or have lots of damage/scratches/dents.</p><p><br /></p><p>These are called &quot;Box&quot; or &quot;Opium&quot; coins as some of these were hollowed out to hide opium powder, snuff, or other illegal substance. Then again some were altered to house photos; some may have been both. (And the hinge actually works!)</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a neat addition to my rather peculiar collection of Mint errors and coin art.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1449884[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1449887[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1449885[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
