United States 1928 $10 Federal Reserve Note (Star Note)

This item is a Series of 1928 United States Ten Dollar Federal Reserve Note. The bill features a portrait of Alexander Hamilton on the obverse. The dominant colors are green and black ink on a cream-colored paper. The dimensions appear to be standard for U.S. large-size currency, approximately 7.4218 x 3.125 inches for a large size or 6.14 x 2.61 inches for a small size, though given the 'Series of 1928' it is likely the smaller size. Key distinguishing elements include the large '10' in the upper left and right corners, the words 'THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' across the top, and 'TEN DOLLARS' at the bottom. The serial number 'G00108024*' is clearly visible, with the asterisk indicating a star note, suggesting it is a replacement for a defective bill. There are significant signs of wear, including multiple creases and folds throughout the entire note, making the paper appear heavily wrinkled and softened. No obvious tears or holes are visible, but the corners and edges show signs of softening and minor dog-earing. The ink appears somewhat faded in areas, consistent with heavy circulation, but the details remain discernible. The seals and signatures are legible. Manufacturing details include 'WASHINGTON, D.C.' and 'SERIES OF 1928' printed below Hamilton's portrait. The series date places it squarely in the small-sized currency era, indicating it is one of the earliest issues of the modern small-size federal reserve notes. The overall condition suggests a very circulated note, designated as 'Good' to 'Very Good' in numismatic terms, due to the extensive folding and softening of the paper. Despite the wear, the note retains its full design and the integrity of the paper is largely intact.
