A bill that old has essentially no high-tech anticounterfeiting features. Things like watermarks, security strips, and so on weren't introduced until the 1990s. About the best you can do at home would be the following:
> Look for tiny blue and red fibers embedded in the paper. These are tiny bits of very fine thread that were mixed in with the paper because they're difficult for a counterfeiter to reproduce.
> Check the teeth (points) around the Treasury Seal. They should be sharp and evenly spaced.
> Look closely at the engraving of Ben Franklin's face. Again, the lines should be sharp and clear. The image should have a certain amount of apparent depth to it.

There are a number of unofficial ways. Counterfeiters have had difficulty copying thepaper and ink, so if you see cloth threads in the paper, it is likely real, and if you rub it in a smudge on plain white paper and it leaves behind ink it is likely real. Look at the lines on the bill as well with a magnifying glass too; if the lines are clean and unbroken, it is likely real. A bank can check the bill for you too.
