If you had 1.00 in 1849 how much would it be worth today?

Answer 1

About $29.00 in pure purchasing power, though, your question becomes more tricky if it was held in a coin. For example, if that $1 was in a 1849 gold dollar coin, it would be worth almost $70 based on gold value alone, with about $200 for collector value. If the $1 was stored in 2 1849 half dollars, it would be worth about $30 for the silver content, or about $100 each in collector value, depending on the condition of the coins. And paper money varies so differently depending on the grade and has no intrinsic value, so it would just depend on a number of different factors how much it would be worth to collectors.
