<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MIGuy, post: 7771645, member: 116145&quot;]What I find interesting about the California fractional &quot;currency&quot; is that they were made by jewelers / whomever and don&#039;t match up for the current values of gold even then (small small).&nbsp; The one I bought was made by a Philadelphia jeweler.&nbsp; The Secret Service put a stop to those non-mint issues after 1880.&nbsp; Gold dollars came in different sizes - For Type 1, 12.7 mm. For Types 2 and 3, 14.3 mm (For Type 1, .500 inch. For types 2 and 3, .563 in).&nbsp; I&#039;ve read that the 3 cent pieces were 14mm though I&#039;m not 100% that those are the little silver ones.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
