<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HandsomeToad, post: 438123, member: 12965&quot;]Howdy fellow coin peeps, <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>One of my recent Heritage Auction wins was a group of 3 California Gold Tokens. I cannot tell you much about them but I should be hearing from Mike Locke overnight and he&#039;ll have them ID&#039;d, although the 1850 is unknown to him. He and I discussed them after I won the auction but the Heritage pics weren&#039;t good enough to properly determine what they are and the 1850 didn&#039;t have a reverse pic.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Once Mike replies, I&#039;ll post what he says. :bow:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/5172/3cgfobvlk5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://img391.imageshack.us/img391/6011/3cgfrevir2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I really love the 1849, with all of the die cracks on the reverse. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I&#039;ve never seen so many die cracks on such a tiny coin. :kewl:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ps: For those of you that don&#039;t know much about California Gold Fractionals, Mike Locke&#039;s website is an awesome reference site, loaded with information. :bow:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.calgoldcoin.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.calgoldcoin.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.calgoldcoin.com/</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Pps: For those that don&#039;t know it, California Gold Fractionals/Tokens were usually not minted the same year as the date on the token. Many were minted in the early 1900&#039;s and some were minted even later. Replicas are still being minted today but a large group were minted in the 1970&#039;s. I believe the three on this post are from the early 1900&#039;s but like I said earlier, I really don&#039;t know and will have to wait for Mike to fill me in on all of that. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
