    I recently purchased some coins and these three were included in the lot. I know that these are smaller replicas of US Gold Coins but I didn't know if they had any value or are novelty items. Also, any way that I can determine the composition? Any info would be appreciated. (You can see how small they are compared to a penny in the 2nd picture).

    The fake double eagle most likely has no gold at all in it, the fake fractional gold may have some low alloy of gold in it while the imitation one dollar gold may very well be what is commonly termed a spielmark and is most likely brass.

    The minature double eagle is the one most likely to have some gold in it, The imitaiion gold dollar has no gold and the fake california fractional is probably gold plated at best.
