1850 Millard Fillmore Indian Peace Medal. Silver. Second Size. Julian IP-31, Prucha-48. About Uncirculated. 63.3 mm. 1728.1 grains. Pierced for suspension at 12:00 as typical. A visually stunning example with extremely sharp detail that is most impressive. Strongly prooflike in the obverse fields which are colorfully accented by rich blue and golden iridescence. The reverse is more subtle, both in its prooflike character and its color, though soft rose and blue are noted. Clearly this is old cabinet toning, largely matching that seen on the first size Zachary Taylor medal in this sale, also formerly in the Garrett Collection. An unfortunate series of short but deep scratches is noted in the left reverse field, but the surfaces are otherwise free of any serious distractions. A few minor marks and faint hairlines are seen under close inspection, but this also reveals the beautifully expressed intricacies of the design, particularly on the reverse. This is simply a lovely medal overall, and certainly among the finest survivors. <p> <p>While the mintage figures are unspecified for the Fillmore medals by size, it is reported that 281 were struck for both sizes combined. The number of middle-size medals was to be 162, as the 162 leftover middle-size medals from the Taylor administration were specified to be melted and restruck into Fillmore medals of the same size. At the end of the Fillmore presidency, 40 medals of this size were still on hand and returned to the Mint for use in striking the Pierce medals. This would have left 122 medium Fillmore medals issued, a larger number than for the first size medals. However, it is notable that the Ford Collection contained just two examples, while there were six large-size Fillmore medals. Carl Carlson had noted "7 or fewer" specimens among the 12 auction records he located. In the writers own survey of surviving specimens, the middle-size medals also turned out to be the scarcer of the two. Just 16 examples have been located, with an unseen example among them technically unconfirmed. Five of these are in institutional collections. This has a fine provenance back to W.W.C. Wilson and Garrett and is being offered here for the first time in 40 years. <em>From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Earlier from </em><em>W.W.C. Wilson</em><em>, Wayte Raymonds sale of November 1925:966; our (Bowers and Ruddys) sale of the </em><em>Garrett</em><em> Collection, Part IV, March 1981, lot 1925.</em><em></em>
