1820 TOKEN North West Company Token, Brass, VF20 PCGS. Breen-1083, W-9250, R.4. The hole at 12 o'clock is common to all known North West Company tokens with just two exceptions. These pieces were produced in Birmingham, England, and reportedly found there way to the Pacific Northwest where they were exchanged with Native Americans for beaver pelts. This pleasing piece has distinctive greenish brass surfaces with slight weakness at the lower reverse. Listed on page 80 of the 2017 Guide Book. Population: 2 in 20, 4 finer (6/17).
