1829 Andrew Jackson Indian Peace Medal. Bronze. First Size. Second Reverse. Julian IP-14, Prucha-43. MS-64 BN (NGC). 75.8 mm. 2770.2 grains. Attractive light chocolate and olive brown with tiny flecks of lighter copper throughout and subtle overtones of rose and pale blue. Invitingly prooflike through the fields with a fine satin finish on the devices that creates a slight but pleasing visual contrast. Some scattered marks in the fragile and broad fields, and a bit of superficial spotting at Jackson’s truncation. Struck from the second reverse, prepared in 1846, as are all of the specimens in bronze in our online archives. Slight evidence of double striking on this side. Attractive overall. Ex Stacks Bowers Galleries, August 2014, lot 3013.
