<B>1820 North West Company Brass Token Fine 12 PCGS.</B></I> The North West token circulated with the value of one beaver pelt in what is now Oregon, which at the time was occupied primarily by Native Americans and trappers. A number were found in the Umpqua River Valley, and this long-dispersed group comprises most known examples. This brassy olive-green piece is holed at 12 o'clock, as are nearly all known examples. The reverse is moderately granular. The obverse field appears smooth despite a cluster of thin marks near 5 o'clock. Listed on page 74 of the 2008 <I>Guide Book.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
