Lot of (100) Fr. 1600. 1928 $1 Silver Certificates. Choice to Gem Uncirculated. Original Pack.Small-size collectors often fancy original packs of notes as they are simply a visual treat with 100 notes in consecutive order. Large-size collectors simply cannot enjoy this collecting aspect as original packs of pre-1928 dated material is virtually non-existent. This 1928 dated pack is of extreme importance as it bears the earliest date to adorn small-size currency. Normally the later 1935 and 1957 series Silver Certificates are all that appear at auction with these "Funny Back," notes being extremely rare and become more so every year as they often are broken up for individual sale. Another strong point of this offering is the quality as the originality is superb along with the overall centering throughout. Gem packs like this are even more susceptible to being broken up as higher grade individual notes often outpace the price of the pack as a whole. Seen with just some handling on the lead and tail notes and with a bank stamp dated 3-1-29.
