Anyone Seen This California Gold Token Before? posted by Cal Gold "Token" Guy

[CSJournals-migration]

Just got this 1880 Cal*Gold Reverse token and am seeking any information...

 

Howdy:

This 1880 "Cal*Gold" Reverse token is unlike any other in my collection (Custom Sets - Vintage California gold tokens). Does anyone know anything about this quarter-dollar sized gold token? It is close to a few of the token designs in my set, but different. Any information would be most appreciated. Thanks. CGTG

 

PS: That's part of the fun with collecting California Gold Tokens - always finding tokens you did not know to exist...

This add on Ebay may give you some information. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1880-California-Gold-Octagonal-25c-BG-799X-ICG-Choice-AU-58-Prooflike-Fields-/160838987332#vi-content

Howdy:

Thanks for the feedback. I know it does look a bit like the BG-799X, but it has the reverse of a "Cal*Gold" token (no denomination). It's not a hybrid of the two either.

I have seen the AU-58 coin you mention on ebay. Guess not knowing is fun too !! Thanks again for looking. CGTG
