Any guesses as to what happened here?

This coin has a real good story behind it...but I'll read what your opinions are before I reveal the details

I don`t know either and that`s a good guess. Maybe an opium box?
This maybe far-fetched but, Was it in a fire?
This and other coins were purchased from a guy whose house didn't make it. But the story has a happy ending. The man I bought it from was a widower, and fell in love with the lady the insurance company sent out to adjust the claim. They were married a short time later and moved to North Carolina.
I carry this coin around in my pocket as a good luck charm, and because of the heat it went through, it really has a super bell-like tonal quality.
