A family friend gave these to me to look into for him. I deal in coins not tokens. They're not testing on my Sigma Metalytics Verifier Pro as gold. I don't believe they're real but figured I'd ask here to confirm.

Those are souvenir replicas. I believe that actual California fractional gold pieces have a denomination.

These are bad replicas. Can you buy them for melt? I don't expect they're more than 10 kt if they are gold.

They don't look like gold - most likely they are gold-plated brass at best.
