[QUOTE="ronterry, post: 1401914, member: 28569"]Real hard to tell just by a photo, but the ink of the hand written serial number looks the right color (Rusted). Is the rust burned through to the back? You want that... Even the flamboyant numbers look right, but a forger can replicate that with ease. The rusting of the iron rich ink takes a little more talent. Don't assume that the quality of the note is a give away. A lot was going on in the day, and they pounded sheets of these notes as hyper inflation ripped into the south. The signature is printed which wasn't uncommon, mainly to save time. Anywho, I'll check my book latter. In many cases, period counterfeits could be worth more. Many of these notes were union sponsored economy killers. The only thing that catches my eye is the clean cuts of the note. Many had massive miscuts, but maybe someone trimmed it in it's 150 year life time.[/QUOTE]
