Greysheet & CPG® PRICE GUIDE

About This Series

The Greysheet Catalog (GSID) of the Fifty Cents (1853–1882) series of California Fractional Gold in the U.S. Coins contains 208 distinct entries with CPG® values between $215.00 and $50,500.00.
Issued in round and octagonal shapes and three denominations of 25-cents, 50-cents, and one-dollar. These small gold issues are intricate miniatures of large gold coins yet no bigger than the size of a fingernail, and were struck to fill a void of circulating coinage in the territory. There are approximately 590 different varieties of the three denominations cataloged in the Breen-Gillio (BG) reference guide.

Greysheet Catalog Details

The Greysheet Catalog (GSID) of the Fifty Cents (1853–1882) series of California Fractional Gold in the U.S. Coins contains 208 distinct entries with CPG® values between $215.00 and $50,500.00.
Issued in round and octagonal shapes and three denominations of 25-cents, 50-cents, and one-dollar. These small gold issues are intricate miniatures of large gold coins yet no bigger than the size of a fingernail, and were struck to fill a void of circulating coinage in the territory. There are approximately 590 different varieties of the three denominations cataloged in the Breen-Gillio (BG) reference guide.
