<B>1849 Zachary Taylor Indian Peace Medal, First Size, Second Reverse, Julian-IP-27, Uncirculated Uncertified.</B></I> Bronzed copper, 76 mm, rim 7.4 mm, 243.1 gm. Obverse engraved by Henry Kirke Brown, reverse by John Reich. Bust left, rev. clasped hands, pipe and tomahawk, PEACE AND FRIENDSHIP, flat-topped A's and finger pointing above the R in FRIENDSHIP, as with all of the 1846-redesigned Second Reverse. A pleasing two-toned peace, lighter orange-brown on the obverse and a deep reddish-mahogany reverse. A few light contact marks are strewn about, none significant, and a crescent of olive-brown on the reverse is the apparent result of an old cleaning that was fortunately abandoned. Nonetheless a pleasing piece, with much luster remaining on the prooflike obverse.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
