Whatever you have, they were not issued by the US Mint. Original California fractionals from the 1850s/60s are worth quite a bit but many reproductions have been created over the years and I am sure that the number of authentic Cal gold fractionals is dwarfed by the number of knock-offs. If they have a bear, they are not even a real reproduction because none of the genuine Cal golds had a bear but many of the knock-offs do have one. If they are truly made of gold, then the only value they would have would be for 1.85oz of gold which is currently about $1500.
