Here's a nice little $.25 California Gold piece I picked up last week along with several other coins. Photos are not mine but used with permission.
Sweet one nut. I'm a cali native and don't have one yet. They're just too dang small for me but I do want one eventually
I have never figured out how people kept up with a coin that small. I can misplace a Morgan dollar right under my nose.
No pockets back then for the most part until Levi jeans really. Men used small pouches and ladies used coin purses. Though I'm sure they still got lost or dropped through the floorboards occasionally
