1928 $50 Gold Certificate

This 1928 $50 Gold Certificate, Fr. 2404, is a distinctive artifact of U.S. monetary history, illustrating the era when gold certificates were a key part of the economic framework. These notes were designed to represent and be redeemable in gold coin, a practice that was discontinued during the Great Depression.

Graded Choice Very Fine 35 by PMG, this note retains strong appeal with defined details and a central vignette featuring President Ulysses S. Grant. The gold overprint, despite its age, remains sharp against the note's clean surfaces. The paper has been circulated but maintains good structural integrity. The reverse showcases the Capitol building in striking green with considerable detail intact, adding to its overall eye appeal.
