1928 $100 Gold Certificate

This 1928 $100 Gold Certificate, Fr. 2405, is a particularly fascinating piece from the late Gold Standard period in U.S. history. Its distinctive gold overprint and serial numbers make it a prominent and recognizable type within numismatic circles.

Graded Choice Very Fine 35 by PCGS, this note showcases a nice balance of preservation and circulation. The paper quality remains strong with minor signs of handling, including two barely-visible pinholes on the portrait as noted by PCGS. The orange Treasury seal and serial number retain good vibrancy, set against the historical portrait of Benjamin Franklin. The margins are even and the overall design features are sharply detailed. The reverse’s prominent depiction of Independence Hall continues the theme of solid eye appeal, maintaining clear and bold engravings. This note stands out as a solid representative of its type.
