Gold Fractionals?

The animal is supposed to be a bear... and anything with that "type" of bear on it is a souvenir copy... especially the bottom set in your pictures; I have it as well... paid 15 bucks for it.

These coins are typically made of goldine... a very bright brass. They are stamped out, so if your slide them on a clean sheet of paper one side envariably will have a sharper edge that when on the downside it catches and won't slide smoothly. I believe the bottom set was a 1970's or so item.

Real California gold typically... typically has the word "dollar" on it. I will provide Mike Locke's link momentarily... no doubt in my mind he's THE expert on the subject.

In fewer words, they ain't terribly valuable or rare. I've even seen one sold on these forums recently... but still worth just a few bucks. There are now an amazingly large and poorly executed modern flood of these things on ebay... looking brand new and terribly plain and again with realy bad designs, but some of the older ones are quite nice a worth a little anyway... just a few dollars.

>>> edit >>> here's the link that is to Mike's site... all the info you can shake a stick at... and I can shake a stick at, uhm... here's the link VVV
