1871 Ulysses S. Grant Indian Peace Medal. Copper, Bronzed. Julian IP-42, Prucha-53. MS-65 BN (NGC). 63.7 mm. 2185.3 grains. Deep chocolate brown with subtle mahogany undertones and just a trace of light cabinet friction on the highest points of the design. The slightly satiny texture of the surfaces give the piece pleasing soft luster and lovely eye appeal. Though struck for collectors, bronze examples seem to be a bit scarcer than silver ones. Ex Aesculapius Collection of Indian Peace Medals, Stack’s, January 2011, lot 6241.
