1797 John Adams Indian Peace Medal. The Only Size. Bronzed Copper. 51 mm. Julian IP-1. Second Reverse. MS-65 BN (NGC).Beautiful reddish-brown patina blankets both sides of this smooth and satiny Gem. The original 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 after 1878, using the replacement reverse die believed to have been cut around that time. It can be distinguished by the closer proximity of the pipe to the P of PEACE.
