Any and all help greatly appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

GregAlex Pillar of the Community United States 828 Posts	Posted 06/29/2024 12:59 pm The edges of the paper are quite sharp -- which is not what you'd expect for a note this old in this condition. That's a red flag. Also the signature looks the same color as the printing -- another red flag. It can be hard to give accurate opinions without seeing the note in hand, tho. If there is a reputable coin dealer near you, they might be able to offer a better judgement. You might also try posting on a forum where there is more expertise, like PaperMoneyForum.com.

I don't like to make judgement calls just from scans. But by comparing the graded note you can see how much different the signature looks. I'm leaning towards not genuine.
