Description
Impressive First Size, Second Reverse 1837 Van Buren Peace Medal, MS62
1837 Van Buren Indian Peace Medal, Julian-IP-17, First Size, Second Reverse, MS62 NGC. Bronzed copper, 75.7 mm, rim 5.5 mm, 188.7 gm. Obverse by Moritz Fürst, reverse by John Reich, the Second Reverse with flat-topped A's and finger pointing above the R in FRIENDSHIP. Original obverse signed FÜRST.F., unusually with the German umlaut above the U and recutting plain on the 1 and 7 of the date, as well as ES in STATES. A glossy dark-chocolate piece with glints of magenta and lilac in the fields, along with a couple of light hairline patches, trivial evidence of contact, and some stray flecks of carbon, including one larger area directly before Van Buren's nose. Both the 1 and 7 in the date are noticeably recut, as on apparently all of this issue. Some muted prooflikeness is noted, more prominent on the reverse, which is also a shade lighter in color. An impressive example of this largest-size Van Buren, complete with NGC Photo Certificate stating "Reverse Dies of 1846."Auction Info
