You could consult the local library or bookstore for what is known in the coin collecting word as The Red Book. It lists a lot of information about values, conditions etc. Also at the bookstore are collecting magazines such as "Coin World" Check also on Ebay and see if anyone is selling something similar.

Good answer above!

From my own experience as a collector of coins and paper money, the confederate bills can be worth next to nothing or a lot of money. It depends on their condition and whether they are deemed to be of value because of their rarity and how they were designed artistically.

I would also suggest taking them to a coin shop to determine if they are the real thing or not. There have been a lot of the confederate currency that has been duplicated to look like it is the real thing.

You might find the information on the following sites to be helpful to you. I hope that you do.

Personaly, I'd have a hard time letting go of something like that under those circumstances. I've got several different contries currancy and coinage (small amounts, pocket stuff) from the places I've been. Reminders, maybe.

Whether they are worth much, some people might put these sort of things in a family album or other displays of memorabilia about a relative.

Just an idea.

See, that's so typical... He's a history junkie, like me.

You've got something that nobody has access to, and we want to cling to these things... for reasons few can explain. It's because we can't put our finger on it that it becomes larger than life, a being of it's own.

I've walk some old battle sites, here in Florida. There are many. Late in the day... when you'd half expect some one or something to happen in the woods. I'll sit in the tree line and wonder and imagine...

How close to our history do we have to come before we have learned anything? How many have to suffer. Enough? Enough for who? We fought for our personal convictions but others want to have what we gained. Without their own putupance! (is putupance a word?)Too bad.

Have any other's attempted to accomplish nearly the same?

As an owner of confederate money, if you look in the bottom left hand corner, you will actually note that the company that printed the money was in Columbia, South Carolina. Richmond was the capital of the Confederacy that is why it is printed in bold. As to the value, it seems most likely it will be what the buyer is willing to pay, but on average you can expect to make any where from the value printed to double that, depending on condition.

I would hold on to the 1861 because that year is extremely rare that ten dollar bill is estimated at anywhere from 500 to 50,000 dollars determined by condition of course

What does the the picture look on the front, Al;so who are the signuters on it and the actual side . Have a good day 7 GOD BLESS
