For a comparison, here's my Confederate States $5, which I paid quite a bit more than $5 for from an American dealer some years ago:
Serial number is 60685, which isn't listed, so it's got the all clear there. Also note the different colour the pen-ink of the serial number and signatures. The ink has also gone through to the back slightly, but you can't see it in the heightened contrast I used for those scans.
It should also be pointed out that there's nothing stopping a replica-maker from obtaining a new, never-seen-before note and making copies of that one. So it's always worth occasionally re-checking these bogus note lists to see if yours has recently been added.
