1801 Thomas Jefferson Indian Peace Medal. Medium Size. By Robert Scot. Julian IP-3. Bronze. First Reverse. Mint State. 75 mm. Handsome mahogany-brown surfaces exhibit just a trace of light rub to the highest elements of the design, all of which features remain sharply defined. A few swirls of variegated color and a couple of wispy handling marks are noted, but this is a very handsome example from the original dies used to produced the prized silver shells. Close inspection reveals considerable light spalling or die rust on both sides. According to Robert Julian, the original dies for this medal were replaced in 1886, so this piece dates earlier, though precisely how much earlier is unclear.
