1841 John Tyler Indian Peace Medal. Bronze. First Size. Julian IP-21, Prucha-45. Second Reverse. MS-65 BN (NGC). 76 mm. Lovely light mahogany-bronze with soft pastel highlights in the fields. Beautifully struck with crisp details and gentle reflectivity in the fields. Very uniform in appearance and quite attractive. One tiny spot over Tylers head is noted, but handling is very minimal with just a gentle rim bump noted near 4 oclock on the obverse. Bronze first-size Tylers are not infrequently offered, but their silver siblings are great rarities so even many advanced collectors will need a bronze to represent the type. Struck from the second reverse, as most seen.
