Thank you all so MUCH for all of your input, honesty and integrity, the world needs more people like all of you!!! I looked at these more and trying to do some research on them, from what I could find (there's not much info on these), these look to be mixed year tokens, not real california fractional but copies or replicas (which some of these tokens are also collectible as well).

So Listians bid as though these are tokens and not authentic Cal Fractional coins please. Again thank you all for not wanting me to know before placing these up on auction without getting any cash value for these, especially in these economic times!!!

We, as individuals, make this a better place to live!

One token in the first picture seems to be covered in a blue-green verdigris. I think there is another coin with light blue-green spots displayed in the second picture. I would guess, and this is only a guess, that some of these are gold-plated brass reproductions.

you need to take these to a coin shop they may be worth a lot of money.

yeah. get these off listia. you could potentially pay off your house, or go buy one with those coins. i understand the aspect and rush of the l;istia credits and give and get stuff. but this is just over the line! you are crazyyyyyyyyyy

I'd go to more than "ONE" to have it checked out :~)

Apr 12th, 2011 at 3:26:49 PM PDT by

indeed we do!
i hope you get 75000 creds for these!

i would still say get them checked out first. they may appear as fakes. but on the other hand, look at how many items appear to be real as well!

try measuring and weighing some of these. Thats all you really need to do. they look pretty small next to that jewelers loop. ?????

These are the brass reproductions that you can get through mailers and that is why they are discoloring. but cool coins to look at.
