It is nearly impossible to tell you how much California fractional gold coins are worth based on words alone.

To say the series is complicated is an understatement. There are many different denominations and varieties of coins, struck in different purities. There are also many replicas of these pieces in existence and there is rarely an easy way to tell what you can look for to determine if your piece is authentic or a replica, especially without pictures.

Your best bet would be to take your coin to a reputable coin dealer who knows about these coins/tokens or to post pictures on a specialty coin forum.

Take it to your local jeweler to test to see what type of gold ie 14k, 18k or 24k. Also, you can send the coin in for authenticity to PCGS, ANACS. Usually the coin should have a denomination such as 25c, 50c, or $1. They can also have 1/4 dollar, 1/2 dollar, or $1. 1852 13 Star Indian Head with California Gold and no denomination is a replica token.

Can you help me find out what kind of cion is Indian head with 1852 on it and California gold on it?

The coin is one of more than 500 known varieties of "California Fractional Gold" coins with denominations of $1.00 - 1/2 dollar & 1/4 dollar and none are US Mint products. Most of the coins are considered "Tokens" and have little or no collectible value. Some of the coins actually have gold in them but it's very low grade gold. It's best to take to a dealer or collector for a idea if it has value.
