I have in my possestion either the real montgomery $1000 note #297, or a fake that is as old as the originaly would be. My grandfather was given this note by his grandmother with the strict words of "take good care of this, dont show your other brothers that i gave it to you, and please dont loose it or damage it.... this is the real Mccoy". My understanding of how she obtained it was that her grandfather gave it to her under the same terms and understanding that she gave it to my grandfather. The original holder of this real or fake was my great great great grandfather Johnston who enlister on the confederate side at the age of 18 during the civil war. Now either i have the real deal and everyone thinks its obviously fake, or I have a fake that is indeed as old as the original would be. Ive tried contacting crutch williams about it....but no answer. Can anyone give me some advice as to how i would figure out the actuality of this note. And remember just because #297 is on the fake list, there still has to be an original out there that was used. thanks for any of the help guys, James[/QUOTE]
