Message:: [QUOTE="Staircoins, post: 801464, member: 17527"]Connor1, I see nothing to indicate that your note is a fake. It is not a known counterfeit, but may be a high quality color copy. I'm leaning toward it being genuine, but it is impossible to say for sure from the image alone. This type of note is a Cr. H16. If yours is real, it appears to be a nice one (except for the gluing, of course).  I just measured one from my collection, and it is 7 1/16" wide, by 3" high, so your note is the proper size. Looking at your note under magnification, are the signatures printed as part of the note, or were they added by hand? Also, can you see any slash cuts in the paper? They aren't there in all genuine notes, but are in many. In any case, I would be very careful about removing the note from the cardboard unless you know what you're doing. That's a job best left to someone with experience. If you have a larger scan, I'd be happy to take a look at it and render an opinion on the note. Feel free to send it my way of you like.  Mike Stair  Edit: By the way, the 'Sam Houston' signature on these notes was secretarially done, not by Sam himself.  Still a terrific note, though![/QUOTE]
