Indian Peace Medals: 1841 John Tyler Indian Peace Medal in Bronze, Extremely Fine.  Julian IP-22, 62
1841 John Tyler Indian Peace Medal in Bronze, Extremely Fine. Julian IP-22, 62.4 mm. Rich, mahogany brown color with wonderfully glossy surfaces. Struck from the original obverse and the later reverse dies, indicating a striking sometime after 1846. An official medal struck at the United States Mint, for sale to collectors who wished to obtain an example of the type (the rare silver versions were made only for presentation purposes). According to Julian, "This size was sold to the public beginning in 1861 although by 1892 the largest size was the only one generally available to collectors."
