Best Answer

In 1838 a $100.00 was worth $100.00. Given the effect of inflation the buying power then for a given amount would be greater than at some later point in time. If you knew the inflation rate from then to now you could compute the buying power then in today's dollars. It is not a perfect calculation as there are somethings that dropped in cost as improvements were made.
