Reason: High quality, high EV (presented as a set). Complete set of serial #1 Series 1928 U.S. Gold certificates. While lower denomination Series 1928 Gold certificates ($10, $20, $50) are obtainable, $100 notes are rare in uncirculated condition but obtainable in lower grades. $500 and $1,000 are seldom seen in high grade and are rare in any condition. The $5,000 and $10,000 notes pictured below are the only examples known to exist. In addition, each note is the first printed for its denomination and therefore the very first small size Gold certificates made.
From the U.S. Treasury Department collection transferred to the National Numismatic Collection in 1978.
Original: An eight-note complete Serial #1 set of U.S. Series 1928 Gold certificates.
