100 British pounds in 1860 was equivalent to approximately 5000 pounds in the 2012 economy. The reason the amount is worth so much more in modern times is due to the inflation that causes the economy to rise and fall with more variation than it did a century ago.
One Pound British in 1860 had the purchasing power of about £63.10 GBP in 2010. This is an approximation based on the value of the pound in 1860 and the value of the pound in 2010, factoring for inflation.

Ten Shillings GBP in 1860 had the purchasing power of about £31.55 GBP today. NOTE - This historical conversion is the result of many calculations and considerations by a purpose designed program for which I can take no credit. The resulting answer should only be regarded as an approximation.

Please post a new question clarifying what you mean by "late 1860". Do you mean "late in the year 1860", or a coin from the latter part of that decade? If you mean a coin from the end of the decade post its specific date because that's very important.
1 dollar and up
The 'simple' answer is: $ 140 - 145. You would today pay around $ 140 for a fixed package of basic commodities that would have cost you $5 back then. In reality, the answer is much more complex, depending on what you want to compare. For instance, you can also compare the value of $5 to the total dollar value of the US's economic output. In order to possess the same 'percentage' of this national output as you had then with your $5 dollar, that amount would now be worth over $ 18,000. The reason: the enormous growth of the US's economy since 1860.
