To make it more confusing, Karen, many who use or have used an autopen machine do so with multiple matrixes. The autopen matrix is a template created from a genuine signature. 

Each matrix is created from a separate genuine signature. That means autopen signatures by the same person but reproduced from different matrixes will not look exactly the same because each matrix is created from a different original signature.

Add to that the ability to "bump" the machine to create even more variety! Some stars, like Leonard Nimoy, used the same single matrix for 40 years. The machine also comes with an "Autopen blue" pen/ink, or used to anyway, and that specific color is another tell. Some stars wouldn't spring for different inks etc.

I'm confused - are there two banknotes being discussed here?  A $5 bill and the $1 pictured?

The $5 bill is good PSA The $ 1bill is auto pen.

Still can't hurt to show the $5.

Steve I don't think I belong here. People like AustinCollector thinks its ok to harass me and make smart remarks. I blocked him on Facebook and please ask him I'm not selling these to him or anyone else.  He wants access to my husbands collection and of course he's using Facebook so people can't see. I don't know his name but I'm positive its him because he's asking about things he commented on

Karen, I haven't reached out to you other than responding to you on this forum. I don't have a Facebook account, and haven't for several years, nor am I interested in purchasing these items. I'm sorry you're being harassed.
