Hi All! New here!! I recently inherited a safety deposit box worth of old US coins. I know most of what's in there. However, there is this one coin in there that I have NO IDEA what it is. I've tried doing research on it but cannot find anything. It is a very small (less than 1/2 in), gold Indian Head with the words I/4 DOLLAR on the back. No date, no mint mark. See attached images. Any information on this coin is MUCH appreciated!! Thanks so much!!

Looks like an undated California fractional gold, BG-222, possibly mint state or high AU if genuine. Nice piece!

Condolences on your loss.

based on the coin facts link provided by Zurie it looks like the nail is hit on the head. The best thing to do is get this coin to PCGS and in a righteous slab. It's like tucking a $400 bill away in the savings account at that point.
