<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tall Paul, post: 8103248, member: 114635&quot;]I have a few pieces of California fractional gold in my collection and these coins are quite fascinating. The previous responses have offered excellent information and advice. If you can find it, the book by Walter Breen and Ronald Grillo is a valuable reference work. I found a copy and it set me back $225 but was worth it in terms of the knowledge and information that the book provides.&nbsp; Also, the advice about buying slabbed coins is good advice as there are countless fakes and counterfeits in the marketplace. </p><p><br /></p><p>Two other areas of interest to me are the historical responses made to address shortages of government issued coinage both in the US and the United Kingdom. In addition to the few pieces of California fractional gold in my collection, I also have a number of Conder tokens and US fractional currency. The great thing about all three of these series is that there are reference works available that provide catalog numbers and lots of information about any of the coins and/or currency in these series. Have fun.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
