As a trade $ fan, I've dipped my toe into the snuff box realm however recently came across Snuff box Morgan $
Can anyone shed light on these? their construction appears different than trade $, and im curious if they're period correct or if these were made more recently...

Looks to me like it was made to hold a photo.
these have gone by various names, one of them being "Opium Dollar" for obvious reasons.
"Snuff Morgan's' means they filmed the coin being murdered.
Seriously though as already mentioned, they were designed to hide illicit materials, or anything that fits, inside.
The second link though, wouldn't fool anyone with that hinge sticking out. So is not considered a "Snuff Morgan"
I may not know what I'm doing most of the time, but I'm Damn good at it. 😇 😈
It is a photo holder. The inside frame is the key.
Aye. Photo holder.

I have seen pics of a couple of these that looked very cool,, but not at the crazy prices they want for them.
