[QUOTE="funkee, post: 1889018, member: 37925"]Your instinct is right about this note: the color is off. But it is a genuine note in my opinion. The seal and serial numbers should be darker (still light/lime green, however). The reverse should be greener, with less blue. And the white areas are very white. Too white, for a note with the amount of circulation that can be seen. The reason is because this note has been washed to improve its appearance. It was likely pressed as well to diminish the appearance of the folds. Your note is likely flat and rather limp. The green inks are sensitive to many chemicals (acids, bleach, etc.). That's why the reverse appears blueish-green. Still, it's a good note that's worth more than face value.[/QUOTE]
