Is there a site online that lists California Fractional Gold separated by each of the three periods? If so, I can't seem to find it.

    PCGS Coin Facts has a lot of information on this series.

    BG100's through BG600's are period 1 (1852-1856). BG700's through BG1200's are period 2 (1858-1882}. BG1300's are period 3 (post 1882).

    Thank you so much. Exactly what I was looking for.

    Period 3 coins were produced after the Secret Service banned the production of these coins in 1882 and they were back-dated to keep the feds off their back.
