1829 Andrew Jackson Indian Peace Medal. Bronze. First Size. Julian IP-14, Prucha-43. Second Reverse. MS-66 BN (NGC).
76 mm. An exceptional example of this impressive medal with beautiful light mahogany brown surfaces that are pleasantly reflective through the fields. Only microscopic traces of trivial spotting are noted, while only a single surface mark catches the eye in the lower right field. Struck from the second reverse die, as all bronze examples in our archives. Some trivial die spalling on the reverse around the tomahawk head and elsewhere. Spalling on the obverse is seen left of Jackson's eye. The crisp sharpness of this piece reveals some of the details of the die-cutter's work. The date digits were clearly punched two or three times to get them to their full relief, while minor punching errors seem to have been made at the S of PRESIDENT and the first S of STATES. Easily one of the best-preserved pieces we have handled.

Estimate: $1000
