Would a 1950 100 bill show as counterfeit with a marker?
I just marked a 1950 ten dollar bill with a counterfeit detector
pen. The ink turned black indicating it was fake. It says on the
pen that it is 'effective on most currency series 1959 and after.'
I wonder if the bills were made differently prior to that date
causing the ink to turn black as though they were counterfeit, or
if the age alone makes the paper react differently to the ink.

The composition of the bill was basically the same then as it is

pen, it should turn whatever color it's supposed to for a genuine
note.

Verifying if a 1950 one hundred dollar is counterfeit can be
done in a number of ways. Initially check for a thread pattern in
the paper. US currency has paper with a rag content including
visible threads. then check for a watermark. A watermark cannot be
xeroxed properly. Finally, the disclosure pen found at retail
stores can check the chemical content of the paper to verify
authenticity.

Asked in US Banknotes
Would a 1950 bill mark as counterfeit is the paper age enough to make this good bill mark as bad?
It is quite possible. Counterfeit detection pens are generally
inaccurate at best and can mark some older genuine bills as
counterfeit and counterfeit bills as genuine, and as such should
only be used if there is a lot of question about the bill's
authenticity. Keep in mind that 1950 US currency in high grades can
be valuable as a collectors item and a counterfeit detection pen
may very well ruin a lot of the value.
