Gents,

Came across this one on auctionzip...

1935 Silver Certificate signed by ruth on the reverse... I recall seeing something on the net about a rash of forged ruth bills, and am curious if this is one of them...

Please see attached link:

Both B's and the R look off, and i find it interesting that the bill is in such bad shape...

What are your thoughts... Real, or a forgery?

Thanks and Happy New Year!
-Dave

Looks lousy. PSA said "no opinion" w a quick opinion, but the B looks wrong for starters. the first one.

I think you need to look at the thread from 12/3/2011 titled "Is this worth more than a buck?".
