The forgers job is to make them look SIMILAR TO THE ONES YOU'VE SEEN OUT THERE because they are copying from the real deal. Thankfully most are bad at it but some are very very good. I have examined FULL checks (not cuts) that even have bank paid perforations (done by hand) and bank stamps front and back (usually can't read the dates) that are in my opinion not authentic. becomes obvious under magnification if you know what you are looking for. So even with full checks, tread lightly.
I've said this before but will repeat "master conterfeiters can "FREE HAND" currency and make it look real. Imagine autographs
