[QUOTE="JBK, post: 68056, member: 1101"]A few points. First, I heard about some of these a few years ago, so there have been one or more batches of this. Second, the initials definitely hurt the value. If it were me, I would politely ask (beg) the FBI agent to provide a letter declaring that the note is real, not fake, as the bank had thought. This letter/story will add to the curiosity and will add some value to the note, at least on eBay. Third, I would sit down with the manager of the bank and ask them what is up with their staff. This note should have been questioned, but not necessarily handled as a fake. It had all the proper features, just an inverted watermark.
