1928 United States Two Dollar Bill (Red Seal Legal Tender Note)

This item is a 1928 United States two-dollar legal tender note, commonly known as a Red Seal Two Dollar Bill. The note features a portrait of Thomas Jefferson centered on the obverse. Its dimensions appear to be standard for small-size US currency, approximately 6.14 inches by 2.61 inches. The primary colors are green on the reverse (not visible in the image) and black with a distinctive red seal and serial numbers on the obverse, a characteristic of legal tender notes from this era. The paper exhibits noticeable wear, including multiple folds and creases, particularly a prominent vertical fold down the center. There are also visible signs of discoloration and soiling consistent with circulation and age. The corners show softening and some fraying. The serial number 'D75457267 A' is clearly visible in red. The large red treasury seal, located to the right of Jefferson's portrait, is also distinct. The text 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TWO DOLLARS' is printed prominently. The phrases 'THIS NOTE IS LEGAL TENDER FOR ALL DEBTS PUBLIC AND PRIVATE' and 'WASHINGTON D.C.' are also discernible. Signatures of the Treasurer of the United States and the Secretary of the Treasury would be present to the left of Jefferson, though they are partially obscured or faded due to condition. The quality indicators suggest a circulated note, likely used extensively. The craftsmanship is typical of US currency production from the early 20th century, characterized by intricate engravings and standardized security features. The overall condition indicates a note that has not been preserved in pristine state, which would affect its collectible value.
