(items 28, 31). Locke varieties: Item 28: Wreath3 Round 1/2 1854 Arms of California #2. XF. Thin gold plating over baser gold. Rarity 6. This variety was unknown to Jay Roe, who made a major effort to identify all varieties of Arms of California tokens. Item 31: Wreath1 Oct 1/4 1876 Indian #1. UNC, but 2 dark lines (scratches?) on reverse. Thin gold plating over baser gold. Rarity 5. Center of obverse crumbling. Probably struck in the 1870s.



Herman Brand: Brand's tokens are typified by multiply punched letters and numbers and very crude renditions of the Arms of California.
