The Greysheet Catalog (GSID) of the Dollar (1853–1872) series of California Fractional Gold in the U.S. Coins contains 20 distinct entries with CPG® values between $375.00 and $34,000.00.

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