Description

1845 James K. Polk Indian Peace Medal, First Size, First Reverse MS64 NGC. Julian IP-24. Bronzed copper, 75.5 mm, 193.3 gm, rim 6 mm. Like many of the Indian Peace medals in the present sale, this piece features the First Reverse (as distinguished from the Second Reverse). On the First Reverse, the right-hand index finger points above the F in FRIENDSHIP rather than the R, and the A's in PEACE AND are pointed. On the Second Reverse, the A's are flat-topped. The surfaces are fairly prooflike on this walnut-brown and cherry-red piece, which still shows considerable muted mint red and a couple of stray verdigris spots. The reverse is choice for the grade. The Ford sale was lacking a First Size, First Reverse of this issue in copper.
