<B>1820 North West Company Token--Corroded--NCS. VF Details.</B></I> Brass. Breen-1083, Rulau E-Ore-1. This piece is holed at 12 o'clock, as are virtually all of the known examples. According to Breen's <I>Encyclopedia </B></I>(page 109): "Only a single issue qualifies as a colonial circulating medium for the Pacific Northwest. This is the 1820 NORTH WEST COMPANY token, made in Birmingham by John Walker & Co. for Canadian promoters of a beaver-trapping enterprise..." The North West token circulated with the value of one beaver pelt in what is now Oregon, which at the time was populated primarily by Native Americans and trappers. This piece has bold legends and worn but readily identifiable types. The obverse is granular and the reverse features thick mahogany patina, typical for this rare issue. Listed on page 74 of the 2008 <I>Guide Book.</B></I><BR><I>From The Madison Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
