Description

A 1928 $50 U.S.Treasury Coupon Bond. This note bears the inscription THIRD LIBERTY LOAN 4 1/4% GOLD BOND OF 1928. It still has one coupon attached Dated Sept. 15, 1928 valued at $1.07, and we did not stop to figure the compounded interest at this percentage rate on a $50 bond to this date, but it has to be a paltry sum by now. The note is an attractive piece, printed in red and gray with the bright blue treasury seal and a medium brown reverse; and an official appearing promotional brochure issued in 1862 to help sell U.S. government bonds for greenbacks. A green and black document approximately 8 X 10 inches and in fair condition. There is a 1 inch tear at the upper left.
