1837 Van Buren Indian Peace Medal, Julian-IP-17, First Size, Second Reverse, Select BU Uncertified. Bronzed copper, 76 mm, rim 7 mm, 255.4 gm. Obverse by Moritz Fürst, reverse by John Reich. Bust right, rev. clasped hands, tomahawk, pipe, legend PEACE AND FRIENDSHIP. Second reverse, with flat-topped A's and finger pointing between F and R in FRIENDSHIP. Original obverse die with recut 1 and 7 in date, and recut ES in STATES. A lustrous milk-chocolate-brown piece with tinges of mint red lurking in the peripheries, with highly reflective fields and considerable prooflikeness in evidence.

Select BU, not far from Choice, and offering generous appeal.
