Description
1841 Tyler Peace Medal, First Size, Second Reverse, Julian-IP-21, Uncirculated
1841 John Tyler Indian Peace Medal, Julian IP-21, First Size, Second Reverse, Uncirculated Uncertified. Bronzed copper, 75.5 mm, rim 6.6 mm, 203.4 gm. Obverse unsigned (Mint Director Robert M. Patterson had a reducing machine to make the various sizes from a single portrait model rather than employing an artist such as Fürst), bust left of President Tyler with date 1841, rev. the usual clasped hands, pipe and tomahawk, with PEACE AND FRIENDSHIP. The finger points to the R in FRIENDSHIP, identifying the Second Reverse. An impressive chestnut-brown example of this medal, likely MS63 or better in terms of details, but with considerable obverse carbon, including a couple of larger spots at the bust truncation and to the right of the date. Accompanied by an NGC sticker with the medal date, Julian attribution, "Reverse Dies of 1846," further adding "Corrosion" with no grade assigned. The Ford example (Stack's, Part XVIII, 5/2007, lot 110), an AU piece, brought $690.Auction Info
