RARE $500 GOLD CERTIFICATE
1378 1928, $500 Gold Certificate. PCGS Extremely Fine 45 Apparent. Fr-2407. KL-2945. The 1928 series was the last issue of Gold Cer-
tificates, and the only small size version of these notes that for more than three-quarters of a century kept the United States tied to some ver-
sion of "hard" monetary policy. The $500 denomination is scarce in all grades, and high grade survivors are seldom seen. This piece has a few
small expert repairs, as noted by PCGS on their holder, but the overall appearance is that of a pleasing, lightly circulated example. There is
even original embossing evident, which suggests otherwise complete originality of the paper. It' s certainly a nice looking note, and is likely
obtainable for a small discount from what a completely problem-free $500 Gold might bring.
