1841 John Tyler Indian Peace Medal. Small Size. Bronze. 51 mm. Julian IP-23. First Reverse. MS-62 BN (NGC).This is a lovely example with superior quality and eye appeal for the assigned grade. The obverse is Choice, in fact, as is the reverse save for a concentration of wispy handling marks in the field below the clasped hands that explains the MS-62 numeric grade from NGC. Satin to modestly semi-reflective in finish with rich mahogany-brown patina throughout. Struck from the first reverse with pointed-top As in the words PEACE and AND, used exclusively before 1849. This is the scarcest format for bronze strikings of the Tyler Indian Peace medal, examples seen less frequently than those in Large and Medium Size.
