<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 8103117, member: 101855&quot;]It looks like you have purchased some real ones and some fake ones. The rules of thumb are that you stay away from pieces that have a bear on them and pieces with the word “eureka.” It should also have a defined value, like “DOL” or “1/4 DOL”, not just a fraction.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have only one piece in my collection. It is certified and is dated in the 1850s. Rightly or wrongly, it is my impression that the earlier dated pieces are more likely to be something that the miners might have used and not souvenirs that were made to sell to tourists.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will post pictures of my piece later when I am on my desk top computer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
