There is a common saying for California Factional tokens:

If you see a bear, beware

I just ran across this Chinatown, San Francisco gold half dollar being offered for $1,849.95.

Is this the most expensive California fractional bear token? Is this gold?

Mike Locke of CalGoldCoin.com has photos of this here with the following description:

No Date with Chinese dragon in middle #1. CHINATOWN SAN FRANCISCO around. Early DS reverse, with lathe lines showing in the field. Scan of token from the Golden State Collector. 12.1 x 0.65mm, 0.51 grams
