Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 08/02/2016 6:20 pm It's not in my copy of Encyclopedia of US Gold coins. The smallest denomination listed is one dollar. Perhaps it was privately minted? Report this Post to the Staff
Jolteon1698 Valued Member United States 384 Posts	Posted 08/02/2016 7:28 pm I've come across mention of California gold coins made before the mint could supply; I think this is one but wanted to know if anyone knew for sure. Thanks for your help so far folks! Report this Post to the Staff

j_hewes Valued Member United States 52 Posts	Posted 08/06/2016 7:08 pm California minted "territorial gold" coins in fractional dollar amounts. I don't know whether it was a private mint or a state-run mint. Try http://en.numista.com and search for "california territorial gold". Your dollar shows up there. John Report this Post to the Staff
