Hello Coin Community,

What do you all think of this California Gold Piece?

More specifically:
1) What specific type of California Gold Piece? (I'm pretty sure it's the Indian Head Round)
2) What would you grade this piece?
3) Would I get maximum value out of it by selling it raw on ebay, or having it graded and consigned to an auction house?

Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate you all.

It is a fake, probably a jewelry piece. I was taught by a respected dealer that pieces with a bear on the reverse are all counterfeit
