Prooflike Choice BU 1829 Andrew Jackson, Second Size, First Reverse

Prooflike 1829 Andrew Jackson Indian Peace Medal, Second Size, First Reverse, Julian-IP-15, Choice BU Uncertified. Bronzed copper, 62.8 mm, rim 5.2 mm, 132.7 gm. Original dies by Moritz Fürst and John Reich. Bust right, rev. hands clasped, pipe, tomahawk, and PEACE AND FRIENDSHIP, pointed A's, the finger pointing to the left of F in FRIENDSHIP. Highly reflective, rich reddish fields with a couple of small hairline patches on the reverse, but nonetheless highly attractive, with well mirrored fields on both sides. Some stray building is noted on each side, but it is minor and undistracting. Rare in the second size with original dies, and especially rare so fine. All of the various sizes of Andrew Jackson Indian Peace medals are quite rare today. Mintage figures show only 58 pieces struck of the second size, with 87 of the largest size and 71 of the smallest, plus another 26 medals of unspecified sizes.
