The Greysheet Catalog (GSID) of the CSA Cents (1861) series of Confederate States of America in the U.S. Coins contains 11 distinct entries with CPG® values between $18.00 and $258,000.00.

The 1861 "Confederate States of America" cent is a fantasy coin, likely by Robert Lovett

Jr. of Philadelphia. For years numismatic texts called the 1861-dated copper-nickel coin

an original, but the first example appeared in 1873, after which 11 more were revealed

and marketed along with "restrikes" in bronze, silver, and gold. The popular story that

Lovett designed the coin after being contacted by the Confederacy is untrue—the latter

controlled the New Orleans Mint and had their own engraver. Further, the design

employs the French Liberty-head punch Lovett used on his store cards.
