PCGS - We had a great group of California Fractional Gold come in for TrueView photography, including the PL designated piece leading off this post! Both of these are among the finest known:
1876/5 Dollar BG-1128 PCGS MS65PL (Pop 1/0)
1872 Quarter Dollar BG-791 PCGS MS66 (Pop 6/0)


Over 450 varieties of California Fractionals are known to exist, some undated but most bearing dates between 1852 and 1882. With that in mind, having certified examples is extremely important in identifying pieces for your collection.
