How do you tell if an 1852 half dollar hexagonal California gold coin is authentic?

None of the fractional Cal. gold coins are US Mint made coins, the Mint has never produced a gold coin with a value under one dollar. Most modern tokens have bears on the reverse, they may also contain some gold so try the magnet test.
Because so many types exist it's best to have a expert look at the coin, but even if it is authentic don't expect a high value.
