Greysheet & CPG® PRICE GUIDE

About This Series

The Greysheet Catalog (GSID) of the Indian Cents (1859–1909) series of Small Cents in the U.S. Coins contains 18 distinct entries with CPG® values between $0.90 and $10,000.00.
Indian cents were designed by United States Mint Chief Engraver James B. Longacre and released in 1859 as a replacement for the Flying Eagle motif, which debuted in 1856 and became the nation's first small cent. Interestingly, the Indian cent name is a misnomer, as the female figure on the coin's obverse is not a Native American but rather a Caucasian figure of Miss Liberty wearing a feathered headdress meant to depict, if inaccurately, a style of head adornment similar to those worn by some native peoples.
