You can find a list of fake serial numbers for the 1864 Confederate $50 bill on various numismatic websites, collector forums, and resources dedicated to Confederate currency. Websites like the Professional Currency Dealers Association (PCDA) or the National Numismatic Collection may also provide information on counterfeit notes. Additionally, specialized books on Confederate currency often include details on known fakes and their serial numbers.

Probably nothing. The Confederate States stopped issuing money in April, 1865. The date in the question is 102 years after that date. In the 1950s and 1960s it was not unusual to find ads for wild amounts ($1000, $10,000, etc.) of 'real' Confederate money for one dollar, with the ads placed in comic books.

At the risk of sounding snarky, if you can hold it in your hand you can be pretty certain it's a replica. Only a very tiny number of genuine cents were made in 1861. However, some of the replicas are themselves quite valuable because they're actually restrikes, made long after the Civil War but using original Confederate dies. If you have an 1861 cent it still might be worthwhile having it evaluated in person, but as you correctly suspect, you should be prepared to find out it's a more modern copy. There are also many fantasy pieces on the market with other dates, primarily 1862.
