1820 North West Company Token. W-9250. Rarity-4. Brass. Fine Details--Corrosion (NGC).Holed for suspension, presumably as issued. A second example of this type, most of which were unearthed in the region of the Lower Columbia River and Umpqua River valleys in Oregon. The surfaces are typically granular overall, although the most extensive corrosion is confined to the left half of the reverse. The obverse is quite smooth in hand, both sides with deep crimson-copper fields that support antique gold devices. Most major design elements are discernible, although the aforementioned corrosion has effaced those along the left reverse border.
