I hate to report it, it's so damn bad it's hilarious, but I guess I will.

Maybe it was run over by a truck. It is a details coin.

It's legit as that's what a BG-857 looks like crudely struck and doofy looking.
I've seen a few 1/4 dollars before, but at least they had evenly spaced "stars" (blobs). But if it's good it's good and I guess I won't mention a word to the powers that be.

That's why I like this place, I learn new stuff everyday. Today I learned I need to spend a little more time looking over some fractional gold pieces!

I think I'll leave this one to someone else, but it is lovely.

A lot of those territorial fracs are kind'a doofy looking ! ! !
THIS seller has more of that stuff than I have ever seen in one place . . . Plus a couple of uber cool SF mint silver ingots.

Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!

Were you thinking this was a fake and going to report it to eBay as such?

Many members on this forum that now it cannot fit in my signature. Please ask for entire list.

Yes, but I wasn't sure, that's why I asked the group. I didn't think anything so crude could possibly be real. If I had just done a little research I would have looked on the PCGS website and I would have seen a copy of that very coin and realized it was indeed not a fake. My error, but I'm glad I waited and didn't report it.

Yes, perhaps, in it's own special way.

<< <i>Many of these very tiny California fractional gold pieces were struck from hand engraved dies and were quite crude which is one of their charms. And, yes it is a real gold coin and you should not report it as a counterfeit especially considering you don't know anything about this series. >>
That is the point I was trying to make here Perry, thank you.
One should NEVER report anything as fake if they are not very very familiar with the series.
That would be a grave injustice to the seller and I would be quite pi%$ed off if someone who did not know what they are doing tried to do that to me(or anyone else)!
Nothing personal here to anyone....just be very careful what you do report.
Best!
