Description
Choice Prooflike James Garfield Indian Peace Medal
1881 James Garfield Indian Peace Medal, Julian IP-44, Near-Gem Uncirculated Uncertified. Bronzed copper oval, 75.3 mm x 59.2 mm, 182.5 gm (2815.4 gn). Obverse: Bust left, JAMES A. GARFIELD PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES 1881. Signed C.E. BARBER F., for Charles Barber. Reverse: Settler shows Native American his homestead, wife nursing baby, son plowing in background. Matte center, with mirrored, highly reflective top and bottom cartouches depicting PEACE and pipe, tomahawk, and wreath, respectively. Prooflike throughout. The obverse has brilliantly mirrored and prooflike surfaces with matte high-relief devices, a Gem save for a tiny rim bump noted above the F in GARFIELD. The central reverse scene is mattelike, as noted, with brilliant top and bottom. There are no mentionable surface impairments noted on either side, and it is difficult to conceive of another example that could significantly better this piece. The Ford specimen (Stack's, Sale XVIII, 5/2007, lot 167), Choice Uncirculated, realized $2,760, and this nicer piece should fetch a higher price.Auction Info
