Description

Challenging VF30 1820 North West Company
Brass Token, Breen-1083

1820 TOKEN North West Brass VF30 NGC. Breen-1083. A mid-range representative of the exceptionally challenging 1820 North West Company brass token, or "beaver," as it is sometimes nicknamed for the reverse device. Moderately worn, holed as usual through the letter K of TOKEN, mushroom-brown and brassy surfaces that show the typical scattering of light marks and suggestions of having been unearthed, the state of a majority of survivors. Walter Breen describes this company trade token, originally struck in Birmingham by John Walker & Co. and later shipped to the Canadian-influenced area that is now Oregon, as the only issue to qualify "as a colonial circulating medium for the Pacific Northwest." Listed on page 74 of the 2009 Guide Book.
