jfransch Pillar of the Community United States 1801 Posts	Posted 02/24/2010 10:02 pm Perhaps a California Fractional Gold Piece, or a replica of one. Does it have a bear on it? What is the design? Report this Post to the Staff

Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 02/24/2010 10:10 pm the reverse says "CALIFORNIA GOLD" and that is a fox, not a pig Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 02/24/2010 10:44 pm Cal Gold depicting a bear is always a reproduction, usually gold plated but sometimes 8-10kt. Report this Post to the Staff

afcop13 Pillar of the Community United States 1409 Posts	Posted 02/25/2010 07:15 am Could be very nice but to determine authenticity, more details are needed, such as where it came from, etc. Lots of replicas on ebay etc. Report this Post to the Staff
