California 1/4 Liberty

Need help with pricing a 1853 California 1/4 gold piece.

To the best of my ability I have found the piece to be an authentic 1853 California 1/4 octagonal liberty, with a wreath style back.

This information was gained using Mike Locke's California Gold page at calgoldcoins.com.

I'm working on this for a family member and would greatly appreciate any help, even a ballpark figure would be a great start.

Thanks in advance.

Could you post some photos---before anyone could really guess a value they would need to see what it would grade--and they would also like to see for themselves if it is real
A ton of these are fake----as you have found out.
After that you would want to send it to a grading company---that is if you are going to sell it.

Thanks for the reply Speedy.

Here are some photos.

 

errmac:
Is the color in the photo accurate?

 

It's pretty close to the orginal.

 

Errmac,that looks brass.Gold is a metal that doesn't usually go black.I've got a strong feeling that this is a dud.

errmac:
I have to agree with Aiden, that was why I asked.
Sorry about that.

 

I'm sorry but it doesn't look real---I would suggest that you get the weight of the coin....
