Pytellc Valued Member 469 Posts	Posted 02/20/2015 4:51 pm Another one I am interested in purchasing, just wondering if anyone could help me out with the grade. I have posted numerous California gold coins recently and am looking for one that I should purchase. Heres a MS-63 example: Report this Post to the Staff

MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 02/20/2015 6:24 pm Pytellc I'd suggest taking it slow when considering purchasing California fractional gold. There are fakes, replicas made in gold, etc. The safest way to make sure you're buying an authentic piece is to buy one already certified by PCGS or NGC from a reputable dealer. -MV Report this Post to the Staff
thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 02/20/2015 6:31 pm loving the split reverse die on the first coin, I would also say mid AU but am no expert. Feel free to call me Will. Report this Post to the Staff
Pytellc Valued Member 469 Posts	Posted 02/20/2015 6:33 pm MeadowviewCollector, thank you for the advice. I will take it slow, I haven't actually purchased any of these posted coins yet. Should I try to zoom in on the die crack/scratch for closer inspection? Report this Post to the Staff
