The Greysheet Catalog (GSID) of the 50 Cents (1853–1882) series of California Fractional Gold in the U.S. Coins contains 17 distinct entries with CPG® values between $165.00 and $4,500.00.

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