This 1928 $100 Gold Certificate, Fr. 2405, stands out as a vital piece of monetary history when the United States currency was backed by gold reserves.

Graded Choice Extremely Fine 45 by PMG, this note presents impressive eye appeal despite some moderate handling. The paper retains its original integrity, showcasing a robust depiction of Franklin and the ornate design elements surrounding him. The gold overprint remains vibrant, and the serial numbers are bold and clear. On the reverse, Independence Hall is depicted with strong details and minimal signs of wear.
