Highlighting the sale was the United States 1928 $100 STAR Gold Certificate that soared past its estimate of $1,500-2,500 to achieve a stunning $13,310. This rare note issued during the boom years of the late 1920s was in exceptional condition. Add to that the fact that it was a STAR note, a banknote printed to replace a faulty one during printing, which added to its scarcity.
