1809 (post-1861) James Madison Indian Peace Medal. Medium Size. By John Reich. Julian IP-6. Bronzed Copper. First Reverse. MS-64 BN (NGC).63 mm. Lovely mahogany-brown patina overall, both sides are fully impressed with a bold satin finish. A few swirls of variegated, slightly lighter toning in the left obverse field are noted for accuracy, otherwise the surfaces would easily support a full Gem Mint State grade. Struck from the first reverse of the type, identifiable by the pointed-top As in the words PEACE and AND.
