1885 Ulysses S. Grant Memorial Medal. White Metal. Very Good. 63.5 mm. Pierced for suspension, and worn through the edge. Dark gray surfaces are thoroughly oxidized and a bit granular. Scattered nicks and marks as one would expect of a medal in a soft composition that had been worn in the context of an awarded Peace medal. While this is not an awarded Peace medal in any official sense, it was acquired by our consignor directly from a Native American family in Wagner, South Dakota in autumn 1990. It was said to have been obtained and worn by a member of the family who thought of it as similar to an official Grant Peace medal. From a Native American Family in Wagner, South Dakota, Autumn, 1990.
