I wanted to wait until this auction closed before asking what it is in case someone here was bidding. So, what is this?

    That's a token/replica of a real
    Calif. Fractional Gold piece.

    The "fakes" do NOT have
    either the word "Cents"
    or "Dollar" under the 1/4 or 1/2 designation.......

    Worthless.....

    Modern brass token made in the 1960's-1970's for Daniel Hurkett, struck by Osborne Coinage. They usually sell for a couple bucks.
    There are old non-denominated tokens worth money but these were modern made and in mass quantities.
