I'm new here, so hopefully this is the right spot... anyway I just picked up this lot but these tokens elude me a bit. Anyone have any idea as to a value, or if these things certify? They've been verified by a high-end metal x-ray machine to be solid gold, so I know that much. Anyway, any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by syncingfeeling 02/09/2016 08:49 am Report this Post to the Staff

syncingfeeling New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 02/09/2016 6:06 pm Well, I've found that they do indeed certify, which is good news: http://coins.ha.com/itm/california-...ption-071515 http://coins.ha.com/itm/california-...ption-071515 http://coins.ha.com/itm/california-...ption-071515 Granted, those examples ^ are quite a bit nicer-looking :) I'll snap some much better photos of these when they arrive.

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 02/09/2016 11:39 pm There is a market for these even at gold value; they do not carry a numismatic premium nearly as much as the denominated / fractional pioneer gold issues. Very attractive tokens you have at any rate, and worth keeping.
