What's in the box/should I open it?

I think I have an idea what's in here but I could easily be wrong. Mint box from 2000 I believe. Any thoughts on what's in it? Should I bust it open and take a peek?

Just open it already!
(Well, OK, you said you had an idea, but...)
Is the hoard in your private vault so huge that you've forgotten what-all's in there?
Something you bought a decade ago? Or if you bought it recently, I was wondering how it had been described, is all.
Or is it that you know what's in there and are just teasing us to build suspense?
If so, you got me. Open it, already!
On that note, open she goes!
Got that good dental floss packing tape on it.
All around too
Open it man!!

There y'go, man. Milk the suspense for all it's worth. There's the key to a successful thread like this!

I hope you are kidding.

2000 ASE silver money clip. Hard to tell from these horrible pics, but there's some interesting toning going on. Blue spot there that you can see and I want to say the rest of the top is a nice purply/reddish blend. There's a weird triangle size patch that is clean and not toned on the arm under the "B".
I'll try to get better pics up (camera battery is fried).
Hey, pretty neat, I guess. And the spot price on it has gone up one helluva lot since you bought it!

Yeah true on the spot. I think it was maybe $15 or so delivered back then, definitely under $20.
In hand it's really nice with the toning. Not sure how that spot started where it did, there was only the blue box that could have rubbed it during an upside down stretch. Packing tape sticky and cigar boxes and studio incense for basically 12 years seeped in there and did it's work somehow. This pic shows it pretty well, just couldn't get the blue/green to pop on the pic as nice as it is in hand.
<< <i>Nice money clip. I see the hinge on the right side... can it be opened and let you interchange coins of the same size? >>
I actually did not notice that hinge at all to look for interchange. Was more focused on how it toned while I had it in my hand. I'll check it out and see.

The horribly late answer to this question is - yes. There's a screw that can be undone a bit on the hinge and you can swap another similar size piece in there. Pretty neat, could throw something else in there that was the same size or a tad bigger. Smaller wouldn't work as it's snug tight with the eagle.
Btw once you seen it do you remember buying it now.

Yup. One of the last few things i purchased on my CCs before I got dot-bombed and ground out paying 30k in debt on freelance/night job money for a few years.
