Monroe authentic
 

Is this authentic and any idea on value?

I can't speak to either, but my first word of caution is to be absolutely sure it is not a high quality copy under the glass.

ignore this post, posted in wrong thread.

Ignore what?

Ignore my post, it was put in the wrong thread.

Marilyn's early (with her new name) signature was a bit haphazard, so I can't say for certain if it is definitively good or not. I see a lot that seems very good, but not everything. I would also be very concerned with a high resolution laser copy, as was stated before.

Personally I have avoided the earliest of her signatures as Marilyn because it took her a while to get the flow that became the hallmark of her wonderful signature.

It is the correct bank branch for her in 1948, so that's a plus.

Here is the same check sold a few years back, if you want to compare the images.

Well it looks to be a copy then, since the original was blue ink, and the one offered for sale is black ink!

I think Jeff's scan is enhanced quite a bit (not by Jeff but the AH IMO). I saw this check on the bay and was curious too. I have owned several MM checks over the years and the signature looks VERY clean, if you get my drift...........
