moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 08/28/2017 8:47 pm Probably California gold or a replica of same. It's a deep field. Hopefully someone here knows that field. Report this Post to the Staff

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 08/28/2017 9:08 pm IIRC, Cali gold was mostly made in the 1850s, before the shipments of halves, quarters etc started coming in. At any rate, assume it's a replica or fantasy until proven otherwise! Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 08/28/2017 9:11 pm Sorry @crazob0, but I think that @moxking is right on this one. Looks like California Fractional Gold to me. As he notes, there are tons of replicas.

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 08/29/2017 12:34 am It is most likely to be a California Gold replica and is probably not gold. However, make sure about the metallic content because, I believe, there were some restrikes/replicas actually made of gold. Here's my similar replica (not gold): In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020 In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020 In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024 Report this Post to the Staff
