Hi..two key ways to tell first a lot of fakes are done in yellow parchment type paper real notes were not made that way.Also the signatures were actually hand signed usually in brown ink.They were never printed on these types of notes.This type of note is a common replica if the note is dated Jan 1 1864 and serial number of 834.It is a replica and has no value.
