[QUOTE="nMarauder, post: 1095467, member: 29091"]Greets again! Yesterday I posted about some possible fractional gold that I found, and today I've got a question about a token that I found in the same trunk. I didn't think much of it until after I researched some of the other coins (Large Matron 1 cent piece and an 1820 bust dime, for example). While there are a lot of resources online for coin history, these tokens seem much harder to research. I hesitate to go out and by a token catalog or something for this one coin, so maybe someone can help me. I've seen a few similar examples online, at token catalog and at Holabird-Kagin. I've been able to compare them side by side and to my eye it looks authentic. The dots around the edge are erratic on the Strahle side, and these irregular spaced dots match up with the ones on other sites. Letters are also formed similarly, and, like the fractional gold, my ancestors were in California at the time, hunting for gold. Here it is. [ATTACH]109436.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]109437.vB[/ATTACH] There is only one listed price for this. It is on Holabird-Kagin and it is listed with a value of over $4000, which I can't imagine is true. So, I've decided to disregard that completely and seek out your advice. Thanks again for reading this![/QUOTE]
