Hi, I wanted to show you the California fractional gold coin I found. I believe it is a genuine one, as it is one on the few very small coins that my dealer bought which is standing out as containing gold (it was checked with a machine, I don't know how that works), and I found the exact reference, which is BG-876. The same die crack, the same hollow marks, and the same weak letters, especially the R. Also the Indian head is a little frosted, I read that this occured often. I wrote to Ronald J. Gillio to know what he thought of it, still got no answer. It measures 10 mm and weighs about 0,20 to 0,30 g. If it's a genuine one than I am really happy, even though the period two coins are actually jewelers' souvenirs, they are still from an historic era.
What do you think ? I can't buy the book covering this topic as it costs... over 300 $. Crazy !
Good night !
