Anyone got any info on this?

Was trying to dig up all the info I can on this note. It seems to be in pritty good condition

Also was wondering if I was going to frame it, do I need to use a special frame to preserve it? or would any frame work, I think this is a cool looking piece even if it is not worth very much.

That is almost certainly a modern reproduction. Any frame will exceed the value of the note tenfold.

 

I must agree. It definitely looks like a reproduction. Sorry.

 

There's lots of info on Google. One sold at Stack's for $2300.

 

I'll have to agree that it looks like a reproduction on parchment paper.

 

the pic I took there it looks very glossy, it is in a plastic envlope, It looks much older and very different when its out of the case. Any easy ways to tell if it is a reprint?

 

The cheap reproductions on parchment paper are made to look old. The crinkly edges on your are a good clue, plus the poor quality engraving on yours. Check out the enlargement on this page versus the look of yours - no comparison. Sorry.

Also, look at where it says pres! On the one Mack gave a link to has pres. And than a small t, yours only has pres

 

It is missing Alot!

 

It is on Crutchfield's Bogus Note List

If I'm not mistaken, the name of the engraver should be along the bottom edge of the note, Gavit & Company Albany, and yours it's omitted.
