Everything looks good about it, I compared it to this: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/note238945.html

Only thing I am a bit iffy on is how the borders are not spaced the same.

Thank you!

I'm not sure what you mean by "authentication help." ​ Are you asking whether we can tell if the banknote is legit or a fake? I can honestly say that to do so from an image is highly problematic. Good fakes can be difficult to detect in hand (let alone from a person's photo online). The borders will not give you a good idea if the note is a fake or not. You must look for the security features which will be listed on the 2nd link I've provided.

Here's a link to P-441d and another to the US Currency Education Program for the $50 note. Get a magnifying glass & try to find the microprinting. Forgers usually cannot duplicate it & it should be crisp & clear (not blurry).

BTW: I would not advise any collector to buy a US $50 or $100 from someone else online. If you really want high denominations than stick to a banknote that has had Third Party Grading (TPG, like PMG or PCGS). At least these will certify that the note is legit.
