Bust right, JAMES BUCHANAN, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, date 1857 below. Signed S. ELLIS SC. for sculptor Salathiel Ellis. Reverse: That of IP-30. Settler lectures Indian "on the benefits of civilization" (Julian). Above, LABOR, VIRTUE, HONOR. J. WILLSON (for Joseph Willson) in exergue. The reverse die was reused from the Fillmore and Pierce Indian peace medals, as no new die was available until 1862, by which time Lincoln was president.The smooth, glossy surfaces are milk-chocolate-brown on this piece, with muted mint red around some of the peripheral lettering. A patch of luster grazes is noted in the right obverse field, along with a few verdigris spots on that side. The reverse is choice, despite the presence of minute contact evidence and an old, faint fingerprint.
