Saw this article some time ago and have wondered about what the coin might have graded. Highest price on Heritage is $86,250.
Anyone here have 1st hand information??

OREGON PIONEER GOLD TRADES HANDS
On January 24, The Associated Press published a story
About the sale of a pioneer gold Beaver coin:
"A rare $5 Oregon gold coin minted in 1849 has fetched
$125,000 from a collector who now has a link to a time
when people in the Oregon Territory began to end a life
of bartering with gold dust, beaver pelts, wheat, salmon
and horses."
