How much is a California 1835 gold coin worth?

Answer 1

Curious piece and certainly of interest since it is not a US coin and gold had not been discovered in California and would not be for another thirteen years, Spain had no California Mint and no use for one. Mexico had no Mint in California. A private mint is unlikely for that year, so the best bet is: # It isn't the real McCoy. # It isn't even Gold. # It is something out of a Cracker Jack box, or # It is a priceless numismatic find which is highly unlikely. Check it out with an authority because US pennies are about the only thing that are collected in this household.

Answer 2

Unless the gold token says dollars or cents, or an abbreviation thereof on the reverse, it is undoubtably a modern replica. Value from 50 cents to a dollar.

Answer 3

These gold tokens were actually made much later -- even into the 1900's.

Value is minimal -- perhaps a couple dollars.
