1797 John Adams Indian Peace Medal. The Only Size. Bronze. 51 mm. Julian IP-1. First Reverse. Mint State.Lovely autumn-brown patina blankets both sides of this smartly impressed, fully defined example. Otherwise satiny in finish, direct lighting calls forth modest semi-reflective qualities in the fields. Wispy handling marks are most prevalent in the upper reverse field, the only impediments to a Choice Mint State assessment. 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.Collector envelope included.
