California Gold Tokens - Real or Fake?

Banemorth

Took a bit of a calculated gamble on these at an estate sale. They were part of a lot that included stuff I knew was legit. First time I've ever bought these though and would love some more experienced eyes on these. Thank you for your help!

Not an expert, but one thing to look for on a genuine example is a denomination like 1/4 dollar or 1/2 dol. Check Coinfacts, their are many types.

Yeah these are the tokens. I compared them to this guide here - http://calgoldcoin.com/oldhtml/wreath4a.htm

Thought they all looked good to my untrained eye.

One of them appears to be - 1855 Liberty #1, 13 stars, early DS of 1853 Lib #1?

And the other - 1860 Indian #1, 13 stars, Reverse of 1854 #1?

reproductions coming out of Cleveland in the 70's.

Way too many fakes and reproductions for tourists out there for me to ever try to buy one as genuine... hopefully those were cheap. Here's a neat reproduction set I bought a bunch of years ago just because they looked neat.

these are reproductions ... no denomination on the reverse. The reference site provided above is a good source of information

Thanks for the pictures! They were like $40 when I account for all the rest of the stuff in the lot so it was a cheap gamble.

Appreciate all the responses! You guys are the best.
