1928 $10 Gold Certificate

This 1928 $10 Gold Certificate, Fr. 2400, represents the first small-size series of Gold Certificates. These notes were redeemable in gold coin until 1933, when President Roosevelt's Executive Order 6102 required citizens to turn in their gold and gold certificates, making surviving examples relatively scarce.

The note presents in Very Fine condition, showing light but even circulation wear consistent with the grade. The orange-gold Treasury seal and serial numbers remain bright and clear against the black design elements. The paper retains good body despite moderate handling, with several vertical folds visible but no serious problems. The reverse displays a crisp green Treasury Building vignette with strong detail remaining in the architectural features.
