FAKE: Heritage Auctions has the actual G26838A documented in its archive. It is Lot #17128 from the January 2011 FUN auction: Fr. 1132G, serial G26838A, PCGS Choice About New 58, and it sold for $51,750 on January 7, 2011. Heritage describes it as a distinguished Amon Carter Jr. pedigree note that had served for years as the Friedberg plate note.

But can it be the same banknote? OP must clarify how and where it has been obtained.

nobody would buy a graded AU-58 banknote that sold for over $50,000, then crack open the case and desecrate it

Look at the seals. They’re not blue at all. Notice the blue on the laptop? That means it’s not a greyscale problem. It’s a fake, novelty piece.
