To My Surprise!

It turns out that the humble beaver is on another much more valuable coin than the 5-cent Canadian coin I mentioned in my last post.

Some time ago I posted about a historic Myrtlewood coin made in North Bend, Oregon in 1933 when money was hard to come by.

Well, I discovered today that this was not the first time that Oregon made its own money. Look at the picture above and then look below at the information about this coin.

Read the article at the above link to learn more about this coin.
In 2026 this $5 Territorial gold Beaver coin would sell for thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars depending on its condition.

My name is Katherine J. Krein. I lost my father in June of 2013, and then I lost my mother in November of the same year. After they both died I went through a mind-warping number obsession that has taken me years to control. This is my story. It is now 2026. I still use this site to post some poems and thoughts. My obsession has faded, however, I still notice the numbers. Faith, hope, and love is what guides me now.
