<p>[QUOTE="bqcoins, post: 791017, member: 5036"]I was at my local shop tonight playing a couple of hands of poker (for fun, not money) whilst waiting for my daughter to get back from a church activity. The owner's daughter mentioned that they had bought the neatest locket today. She brought it out and I was so surprised to see an 1877 S Trade dollar Opium/box dollar. I've only ever seen a handful of these in my life and only at Major shows/auctions. I just had to have it for my eclectic collection. Here are the pics, I haven't figured out whether the back also comes from an 1877 S trade dollar or what diagnostics it matches up to. I'll have to find someone who specializes in Trades or a book on them first. In addition, there was a picture in the "locket" and on the back is a partial name of the studio and its location in Sioux city, Iowa. Pretty cool.</p><p><img src="http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/bqcoins/ancients-medival-medals-misc/IMG_3645.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/bqcoins/ancients-medival-medals-misc/IMG_3647.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/bqcoins/ancients-medival-medals-misc/IMG_3648.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/bqcoins/ancients-medival-medals-misc/IMG_3649.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
