Most modern replicas say that they are replicas on the bill itself. Look to the bottom of the note, most replicas have "COPY" or sometimes "FACSIMILE" on it. If you see none of those marks, it could still be a replica, I would search for your serial number online and see if it is known to be a replica. It is hard to describe, but authentic notes have a certain feel to them and a certain look to them that a coin dealer should be able to determine if it is real if he sees them in person, so you could take it to a coin dealer and get the dealer's opinion of them.
If it's dated 1867 you can be 100% sure it's a fake. Remember your US history - the Confederacy lost the Civil War in 1865.
An 1864 500-dollar Confederate note can be worth over $850. This value is dependent on the bill's condition, and whether or not it has been authenticated.

The number "18278" on a Confederate $500 bill does not have a widely recognized specific meaning; it is likely a serial number used for identification and tracking purposes. Confederate currency, including the $500 bill, was issued during the Civil War and printed in various series, each with its own set of serial numbers. These numbers helped to prevent counterfeiting and maintain the integrity of the currency during a time of economic instability.
Nothing, because the Confederacy no longer existed in 1867.
There was no confederate soldier ever pictured on confederacy currency. General George Washington was featured on one of the bank notes that was in circulation.
The value of a $500 Confederate bill can vary significantly depending on its condition, rarity, and market demand, generally ranging from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. The serial number 16760 does not inherently determine its value, but it may contribute to its uniqueness. The absence of writing on the back does not automatically confirm authenticity; it's essential to verify the bill through reputable collectors or dealers, as there are many reproductions in circulation. Always seek expert appraisal for a more accurate assessment.
No, some legitimate bills have been marked with the 16760 number in an attempt to devalue the currency.
Check the serial number. The vast majority of Confederate artifacts are replicas and counterfeits, and that includes currency. Lists of known replica serial numbers can be found online, and such bills are worth next to nothing.
