Fr. 2404. 1928 $50 Gold Certificate. PCGS Banknote Gem Uncirculated 66 PPQ.With just over two dozen $50 Gold Certificates from the two major services achieving a grade of Gem 66 EPQ or above, this note represents a prize acquisition for the small-size type collector. With visually near-perfect centering, deep rich printing, vivid yellow overprint and fresh original white paper, we fully concur with PCGS Banknotes evaluation. The hunter green back is one of the most pleasing we have seen for this issue with the prominent aerial view of the U.S. Capitol being just stunning. Possession of these notes was declared illegal from the end of 1933 through the spring of 1964, and collectors were forced to trade this clandestinely for over 30 years. We are indeed fortunate to have a few gem survivors today. PCGS Banknote Population 1/None Finer.From the Mid-Continent Collection.
