Nice find!

 

Nice!!!---but one question...do you think she really did it?
Some of the letters aren't the same....

Very COOL

That is quite a unique R if I do say so myself!!!

 

The y's look a bit different (there's a loop missing on both) but otherwise it looks to be the same. The H has a bit less of a tail line (so to speak) but I don't think it's a deal breaker. Pretty neat to find a Silver Cert. let alone one that was signed.

 

It appears she was a rather prolific signer.

I have found 3 sites selling her signed bills.

She died in 1979.

 

You mean the K?

That's awesome, and not all signatures are the same, minor variences are allowed when doing a comparison, and I would say to me this looks to be the real deal.

 

cool find:thumb:

 

It is almost definitley real - she did sogn a lot of them. Not worth a ton, but a few bucks, anbd a GREAT fund from circulation.

 

A few years ago,I did have a 1997 Bank of China $20 banknote that was signed & dated (in 1998) by the General Manager of the Bank.I was pretty hard up,so I ended up selling it on Ebay.It got US$92 for the sale price.

Probably some kid practicing forging signatures.

 

If a "kid" did that he has a career all set.

Consensus is that this is the real deal. :thumb:

 

I know a guy that when he was young could do John Handcock---and you would never know it....but now he is one of the best "cops" on the force.

Cmon Speedy.... Of course this is an autographed note. This has only a few dollars premium. These are fairly common. It is not like this is worh hundreds of dollars. You are way too suspisious.

 

very nice find :thumb:

 

I personally beleive that it is the real deal, although I'm far from an expert. However, I once met a 16 year old who was very good at making fake ID's, passports, birth certificates, anything. So, ya never know.

 

The inconsistancies are actually proof that the counter-sig is genuine. A perfect copy would be impossible without using some form of tracing to transfer the original onto the note by hand. No 2 signitures by the same person look exactly the same, so the inconsistancies are a good thing.

 

I have a Silver Certificate from one of the series in the '30s that supposedly has Elvis' signature on it. It's nowhere near as readable as this one is. On mine, if you think it's Elvis, you can see it. If you don't, it looks like wavy lines.

Thank you Cave T.

These are common, and I think this one is absolutly genuine....
