✅ SOLVED Confederate money?

[RGINN]

Well we know what it appears to be, but I got some questions. My mom and dad have passed on, and my sister sends me stuff from time to time from their 'estate' that she thought belonged to me. This didn't. I was shown a bill similar by my grandma that clearly had 'facsimile' printed on the border, but you don't say nothin to the older folks. This is not the same bill. So any opinions are appreciated, and you will not hurt my feelings at all either, cause I have some doubts about it. I'm not interested in how much it might be worth, but it would be cool that while they always showed me the fake one they did indeed have the real one stashed away. Thanks for any input.

Fake, if you look at the bottom left corner of the back/reverse side of the bill you'll see in small print "FACSIMILE".

Here's an original one I have, these were only printed on one side and the back was left blank, also they were cut from the sheet by hand so nice even borders are a clue to it not being original

Interesting tidbit, you can ID fake Confederate currency by the Serial Numbers also.

Also, I think Confederate money was countersigned in brown ink. Gary

The ink was black when it was new, over time though the iron based pigments oxidized and it turned brown. But yeah black ink signatures and dates are a sure sign of a repro
