[QUOTE="funkee, post: 1838852, member: 37925"]There are a variety of ways to tell. But due to quality limitations of photos posted online, my preferred method is the color of the signatures and serial numbers. Notes from this era were hand signed and hand numbered. The ink used in those days contained iron. With time, the serial numbers and signatures oxidized (rusted) and turned brown due to the iron rich ink. Because the signatures and serial numbers are just as black as the rest of the note's design, we can conclude with near certainty that it is a reproduction. Take a look at other non remainder obsolete notes and you will see the difference.[/QUOTE]
