I put out some business cards around town for people with coins to give me a call. Today I got my first one; an older lady called and had a old bill, along with a set of 1907 coins (which she thought would be worth a lot and sadly wasn't). The bill was a 1862 $100 Confederate Note. She said it was from November something. I'm not huge in to bills; what is something like this worth? eBay has it going right now for about $50, but I just want your guys' opinions. Thanks.

So long, Realcent 1. Come visit us at Realcent.org!

not really sure but the price guides have some very significant prices for confederate bills. be careful, because there were a lot of 'replicas' made on old-feeling paper. you can pick up a set or replicas on ebay for maybe $20 bucks.

Buying:
Peace/Morgan G+ at $15.00
copper cents at 1.3X
wheat pennies at 3X

Good advice. I had one of those as a kid, and it looked very authentic. Even taking regular paper and staining with coffee can give it an old classic look and feel I've been told so be careful.

My hobby: collecting real money 1 copper cent or nickel at a time.

Ebay can be a pretty good "retail" price guide. I would offer 70-80% of what they go for on Ebay. Why pay retail for it if you dont have to?
