1881 James A. Garfield Indian Peace Medal. Oval. Silver. Julian IP-44, Prucha-55. AU Details, Cleaned (NGC). 75.5 x 59.5 mm. 3020.7 grains. Integral suspension loop affixed at 12:00. Satiny light silver gray with some deeper patina close to the devices and through the legends. Pleasing soft luster on both sides and boldly struck, with high wire rims and strong detail throughout. Hairlined, as indicated by the NGC grade, but this is not unusual for Peace medals. Speckled patina on the obverse that is consistently seen on the former Dr. William Bridge Collection medals. <p><strong> </strong><p>There were a few original medals struck in silver for the Garfield administration for distribution to Native Americans. As noted in Prucha, the adopted methodology was to strike medals as needed rather than to produce a large number for eventual distribution. As is the case with all of the oval issues, the silver Garfields are extremely rare (those of some administrations are unknown). We know of only four originals, and it seems that perhaps a mere 25 of them were struck for distribution. With the silver impressions prohibitively rare, and original bronzes not that much more available, these have been very hard for collectors to capture in any form. This piece seems to have been one of a set of silver ovals produced to order, likely in the early 20th century. Similar one-offs, with the identical style of suspension loop, are known in silver for the Hayes, Arthur and Harrison medals. Most likely, such a medal exists for Cleveland, too, but we have not seen an example with such a loop. All of the looped ones share a provenance to Dr. Bridge. There is fairly strong collector enthusiasm when just about any Garfield Peace medal is offered for sale, and the rarity of the original silver impressions has created a good market for these few very rare restrikes. This has been off the market for a decade, but it brought $12,650 when it last sold, in our January 2011 Americana Sale. We have gotten as much as $9,000 for a Garfield in bronze and more than $31,000 for an original in silver, which puts this result into perspective. <em>From the E Pluribus Unum Collection.
