The Greysheet Catalog (GSID) of the Fifty Cents (1853–1882) series of California Fractional Gold in the U.S. Coins contains 17 distinct entries with CPG® values between $215.00 and $5,750.00.

Issued in round and octagonal shapes and three denominations of 25-cents, 50-cents, and one-dollar.

There are approximately 590 different varieties of the three denominations cataloged in the Breen-Gillio (BG) reference guide.
