Before I Send This Confederate $.50 Note To PMG Please Take A Look

I am new here and don't collect any paper, but my very untrained eye wonders if this is real. It looks too good to be true. I can't wait to hear what others have to say. If I were going to send it in, I think I would bring it to my local trusted coin store and get their opinion on it's authenticity before sending in.

I looked into the pros and cons this is really a test note before I start sending real valuable ones in to be graded. But graded I should double my money

I'm on my Tablet and the Signatures look like it was done in black ink, if so, a red flag for me..

All paper I've seen from that time period is brown ink, and on rare occasions red ink..

I don't know if fractional Confederate Currency was stamped of hand signed, if the latter it would be brown ink..

I know in the 1960's Modern Replicas were printed to celebrate the Centennial Anniversary of the Civil War, all notes with black signatures..

A CU note of this type is worth less than $100. With the lower left corner missing this won't grade that high and is probably worth around $25-30. You probably won't get enough of a value boost by slabbing it to make it worthwhile.

I agree with the others. Probably not much to gain by having this note graded. Looks authentic.
