A Confederate $100 bill was recently discovered amongst old family papers and I am interested in it's potential value. It is signed and dated August 20, 1862, with no stamps on the back and a depiction of slaves hoeing cotton at the top of the front. There are slight creases on the corners, specifically the top left, but otherwise in pristine condition.

Looks like you have a lot of no help answers. First off there are a lot of reproductions around and have been for years. You need to take it to a currency dealer not a coin dealer unless he has a vast knowledge of Confederate currency. It could be Worth a sizable sum for it is $100 and that bill was very high, for back then. It really needs to be authenticated. You will have to do some leg work and find the right dealer out there to help you. You could check to see if there is a local coin club and maybe a member collects such items. I have no books on the subject, for I found I can't collect everything. I have Civil war coins not paper. it really needs to be seen so the paper it is on can be checked out also. No real Confederate or Colonial notes were printed on parchment. Hope this points you in the right direction.

The value of your bill would be a minimum of 100 dollars, if it is us tender it has to be honored no matter what time period it is from. as to whatever higher value, i say research; is it a state bill (each state use to have their own bills) or a US bill? it's not a coin, paper is much harder to preserve over years, does that minmal amount of damage really affect the value of something so old? and possibly that rare, what is the rarity of the bill? there's always ebay and then you can decide you own value because if you think it's worth say 300 there might be a collector out there that agrees with you. Good Luck!

$75 to $80 dollars because it is not in pristine condition. Even though it only has slight creases, it is still damaged. If it was in perfect condition, it could sell for over $100

Sorry. There is an abundance of Confederate money. Every one thought it would be worth somthing and keep it. It is worth little if anything.
Your best bet is to find a collector. A complete set of a 10, 20, 50 and 100 is being sold for $23.26.
Note: Gee Taiping. Thanks for straightening the rest of us poor fools out. What a jerk

Don't go to the bank, go to a collector or get it appraised.
