The Greysheet Catalog (GSID) of the Twenty-Five Cents (1853–1882) series of California Fractional Gold in the U.S. Coins contains 27 distinct entries with CPG® values between $230.00 and $15,000.00.

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.
