Serial numbers look off and the details look "mushy".

    I've seen plenty of 1860s Legal Tender counterfeits but never a counterfeit Interest Bearing note.

    So Greg, for the lame brains like me, what is it that gives away the Interest Bearing note as a counterfeit? Also the same question on the golds (even though my bad eye says they don't look right).

    On the golds, the cross hatching on George is especially bad, all filled in and blotchy. The top one looks like it is missing the red and blue silk threads. They would probably look more obvious in hand with a real one next to it.
