I have an 1862 $100 Confederate note. I know there are a lot of fakes out there so I was wondering how do you tell whether it is fake or not?

Your bill appears to be a reproduction. Here's a reference with the same No. 119 serial number.

to the CCF, gtcoins7737! I've handled such notes in the past and there are a few things to look for in many reproductions. First, the paper is stiff and crinkly and an off-yellow color. Second, there is a lack of detail in the engravings, especially the portraits. Also, they don't pass the smell test - old bills generally smell old.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Welcome to CCF.
It's a well documented reproduction.
I use the Crutch Williams website, just scroll down and you'll find it.
