1853 Franklin Pierce Indian Peace Medal. Large Size. Bronze. 76 mm. Julian IP-32. Second Obverse. MS-64 BN (NGC).Slightly mottled olive-brown patina to both sides, the surfaces revealing more vivid undertones of autumn-orange as the medal rotates under a light. Satiny in finish with a razor sharp strike and pleasingly smooth appearance. Struck from the second obverse die, possibly introduced prior to 1870, and identifiable by shorter, more compact digits in the date.
