U.S. Two Dollar Bill, Series of 1928 D (United States Note)

This item is a U.S. Two Dollar Bill from the Series of 1928 D, identified as a United States Note. Its standard U.S. currency size for this era measures 6.14 inches x 2.61 inches and it weighs approximately 1 gram. The note is primarily green on the reverse, with the central design depicting Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's estate. Surrounding the central image are decorative borders and the denomination 'TWO DOLLARS' printed multiple times, as well as 'THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA'. The serial number and seal, which would be visible on the obverse (not pictured), are red, a distinctive feature of United States Notes from this period, as opposed to the blue seals of Silver Certificates or green seals of Federal Reserve Notes. The materials consist of a durable blend of 25% linen and 75% cotton paper, characteristic of U.S. currency designed for longevity. The note displays signs of significant wear consistent with its age and handling. Multiple folds and creases are apparent across the surface. A small tear is visible along the top edge, near the center, which is a common point of weakness for heavily used paper currency. The paper exhibits softening and discoloration, contributing to an aged patina. No visible repairs have been made to the note. Despite these condition issues, its observable details align with a genuine Series of 1928 D Two Dollar United States Note.
