$100 Gold Certificate - 1928


Fr. 2405 $100 1928 Gold Certificate. PCGS Choice Uncirculated 63. With UNCS so far and few in between this opportunity is truly coveted . Some months ago a similar PCGS 63 PPQ sold in the auction for $13000, this note , though just as nice looking does not have the PPQ designation and is priced at half the price . See for yourself the nice dynamic of this stunning piece! Very sharp with bold color. Higher denomination Gold Certificates are more popular than ever and are bringing very strong prices with a sole Gem selling for over $100,000.00.The time is now to consider such a high grade rarity . This Friedberg 2405 with the signatures of Woods and Mellon displaying serial number A00762964A. Only 4 graded higher per PCGS Pop Report. The front of this note features a portrait of Franklin. The reverse features Independence Hall. The gold certificate was used from 1882 to 1928 in the United States as a form of paper currency. The certificate was matched to the same amount of value in gold coinage.
