The Last of the Gold Certificates.Redeemable for gold until it became illegal to own…
Everyone knows about the turmoil following the Stock Market Crash that devastated the American economy. But almost a century later, few know that it was also the beginning of the end for circulating U.S. paper money backed by, and redeemable for, gold.
This highly coveted Series of 1928 note — the only series of small-sized U.S. Gold Certificates ever issued — is a rarely seen, obsolete bill. Not only was it the only one of its kind, but for a time it was actually a crime to own it! This note survived the Gold Recall set in motion by Executive Order 6102, signed by FDR in 1933, in which millions of Gold Certificates were redeemed and destroyed.
The note you receive will:
• Feature a portrait of Alexander Hamilton, first Secretary of the U.S. Treasury, like today’s bills, but—unlike them—it has a rich gold seal and serial numbers.
• Be enhanced by a fascinating, specially prepared Collector’s Card.
• Be now once again legal to own, although no longer redeemable in gold.
• Arrive in a handsome, glass-topped Display Chest that measures 9.8" x 6.5" x 2".
• Be presented in gently circulated condition, encapsulated in a crystal-clear case so you can view every detail, front and back.
