1797 John Adams Indian Peace Medal. The Only Size. Bronze. 51 mm. Julian IP-1. First Reverse. MS-66 BN (NGC).An outstanding example of this medal in deep mahogany bronze with a uniform satiny appearance and no flaws or defects of note. The dies for this issue were cut by Moritz Furst and John Reich, though neither die was signed. In fact, this obverse is believed to be the only die by Furst that he did not sign. This example was struck in the earlier years of issue, before the reverse die became unusable for some reason and was replaced by one with flat-topped As. Tied with one other as the finest certified by NGC.
