It looks pretty good to me, I spent a good long time trying to authenticate one I found a while back. The ink on the signatures looks right, and the way it's cut seems good too. One tip, most of the repros tended to all have the same serial number. Do a google image search and look for your bill, if you see one with the same serial number it's a big red flag.

This is the site I use to check Confederate money. It has a list of all the fake serial numbers:

A List Of Known Facsimile Confederate Notes

Also, BROWN ink instead of black is what you want to see. How many bills did you find and what denominations?

Neat find Breezie

Great advice you've gotten here. My husband buys and sells Confederate currency and has told me serial numbers are a big key in identifying fakes as is ink color. Be careful.

not my finds.. checking for a friend. Im finding out more as we speak.. brown and green ink it appears. I believe the bills to be authentic.
