Looks like it:

? default(realprecision,55)
55
? ph=1/((sqrt(5)+1)/2)  \\ NOTE 1/Golden
0.6180339887498948482045868343656381177203091798057628621
? (ph+ph^3/(1-ph^3))/ph
1.500000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

In seq A173857 (Expansion of 3/2 in base phi)
should have some an entry
3/2 == 1+ph^2*(1+ph^3+ph^6+ph^9+ph^12+...)
and the offset should be zero (1==ph^0)
