FR‑1500 – 1928 $1 Legal Tender – Very Fine – A00037408A
This FR‑1500 1928 $1 Legal Tender, carrying serial A00037408A, is a strong and honest Very Fine example of one of the most recognizable early small‑size Red Seal notes. This piece circulated naturally, shows the expected handling for the grade, and retains decent color with sharp inks. The paper remains solid, the body of the note looks great, and there are no distracting issues that would push it down into Fine. It sits comfortably in the VF range with the kind of originality collectors appreciate.
The 1928 Legal Tender series holds a special place in small‑size currency collecting. It represents the first small‑format Red Seal One, a design that blends classic symbolism with early modern engraving. Many surviving examples are either heavily worn or priced far above what most collectors want to spend. This note fills the sweet spot perfectly: affordable, original, and visually appealing without the premium attached to Uncirculated material.
Uncirculated 1928 Red Seals often exceed $500+, and many collectors simply do not want to stretch into that price tier for a type note. This VF example offers the ideal balance between cost and quality. The paper remains intact, the seal and serial numbers are bold, and the overall presentation is clean for the grade. It shows circulation, but nothing harsh, nothing distracting, and nothing that compromises its desirability.
This note is perfect for collectors building a Red Seal type set, a 1928 series run, or anyone wanting a budget‑friendly example with character and originality. It also serves as an excellent upgrade for collectors holding a lower‑grade VG or Fine example. The note has the right look, the right feel, and the right level of preservation for a VF.
A dependable, attractive, and affordable 1928 Legal Tender that delivers strong value and classic appeal.
