in honor of pcgs grading bills, is this one fake?

I know little about coins, and next to nothing about paper. The auction would appear to be a scam waiting to be, but if this is real what would've done it? stuck together sheets?

Varieties are the spice of a Type Set.

  • I understand the Treasury uses sophisticated imaging computers to find these kinds of errors. And the paper doesn't look right. Sure looks like a scam to me. The Secret Service usually is all over currency counterfeiters, so you should call in a tip.

    I thought bleach would turn the bill orange? Reguardless it looks fake.
  • It probably wasnt bleach but another chemical. Im pretty sure bills are bleach resistant in a sense to stop them from being ruined in the wash.
