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.
