WHATS THIS WORTH

[hparker619]

i pretty sure it's real , thank you for the link , i'm going to take it to the dalton ga. show the 27th to be a 100 percent along with the 3 cent piece .i put up a bigger picture of the note for you guys to look at widegrin

This site seems to know a lot about the confederate notes and states that copies were placed in cereal boxes in the 50 - 70's for special promotions. There are counterfeits that are worth money though but these were produced during the civil war era.

There's a chance it's real from this site hparker. If you scroll down your note is there and seems to match. Also the serial number isn't found among the know counterfeit ones. Maybe be worth it to have it certified. Not sure the cost on certifying notes or how much this would be worth after certification. It can't hurt to take it to a local shop that might have some knowledge on them.

You wrote counterfeit, so I went with it. Good idea to take to the show although the ink color can tell you a lot.

The only thing that looks odd on it o me is how dark the signatures are on it. Usually the ink would turn red or brown as the written serial number has done. If anything you'd think it'd be the same color since the serial number and signatures were added the same time.

If they did make a fake note out of this what would the paper look like ?
like note book paper or something close to it ?

because this note looks like a real bank note type paper

wouldn't the signature be a copy to make it a counterfit note and the serial number be added later ???

I'm not really sure. It all depends in what the signatures look like in had. Look closely there may be brown specs of rust in the ink making it more likely that it is real. I've read that if the signatures appear the same color as the black in for the note itself that it could be a sign of a counterfeit bill. In the image it is too hard to tell.
