Description
1849 Oregon Exchange Co. Five Dollar, AU Details
K-1, Extremely Rare Territorial Gold Issue
1849 $5 Oregon Exchange Co. Five Dollar -- Tooled -- NGC
Details. AU. K-1, High R.5. A male beaver perched on a log
gives this rare Oregon Exchange Co. five dollar private mint gold
piece undeniable rustic charm. The other motifs are less
imaginative, with a series of initials above the beaver and sprigs
flanking the 1849 date. The reverse shows 130 G. / NATIVE / GOLD /
5 D. Only 40-50 pieces survive in private hands, many with
impairments of one kind or another. This example displays About
Uncirculated sharpness, although the fields on both sides are
tooled and the coin is unnaturally glossy across the reflective
surfaces. Medium green-gold color offers significant eye appeal --
the tooling was carefully done. Struck on a slightly wavy planchet
or possibly with a minor bend. Listed on page 419 of the 2024
Guide Book.From The Old Pioneer Collection.
