Is it a 1917 $1 legal tender note? just a guess. Or possibly, there are no fakes!  Edited by NickelCollector

I'll think outside the box and go with the "Rainbow" series for the heck of it.

I believe it was the Boston FRN star note of 1914, with incorrect serial number (2 known).

Thanks. I'm a newbie to the forum, can't believe I've been collecting for so long without being a member!
For reference, this note is pictured in Doug Murray's 3rd. edition of US Large Size Star Notes (2007).

According to Murray, there are two, presumably with the same serial number, which starts with the incorrect letter of "B" rather than "A".

My 1996 edition of Murray states only 1.

The 2007 edition says two, with the comment "both nearly identical". I've been trying to upload a pic without success, so I'll contact the webmaster for help.
