Lot 2993		1928, $100 Gold Certificate. PCGS Extremely Fine 45PPQ. Fr-2405. . KL-2747. An absolutely stunning small size Gold note. Unlike most surviving pieces from this issue, the bulk of which have been pressed or cleaned, this piece is fully original and has spectacular colors and embossing. It has just a light fold or two that prevent a higher technical grade, but if eye appeal and originality matter at all (which this cataloger believes they do!) then expect this note to realize closer to an AU or even Uncirculated price level. Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,380
Lot 2994		1928, $100 Gold Certificate. PCGS Apparent Very Fine 20. Fr-2405. . KL-2747. Although there are a few problems on the back, notably some writing in ink, a paper scuff, and some foreign substance residue, this piece faces up rather nicely for the grade and will make some collector very happy. Estimated Value $300 - 400. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $518
Lot 2995		1928, $500 Gold Certificate. PCGS Very Fine 35. Fr-2407. . KL-2945. This is a very scarce note in a very desireable grade. Most survivors of this issue have problems to some degree, or are very well worn or damaged. This piece is a pleasant exception to the general rule, and has good overall eye appeal for the grade. It is fully original, and there are no obvious distractions or flaws. Only 420,000 small size $500 Gold Certificates were originally printed, and most were redeemed or destroyed. Not many nice mid-grade pieces could have potentially survived for collectors today. Estimated Value $12,000 - 15,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $11,500
Lot 2996		Circulated Certified Pair of Gold Certificates. A nice pair of small size Gold Certificates, a $10 Fr. 2400 and a $20 Fr. 2402, each graded Fine 15 by PCGS and PMG respectively. Lot of 2 notes. Estimated Value $140 - 180. The Samuel J. Berngard Collection. View details	Realized $167
