<b>Indian Peace Medals</b><hr><b>1845 James K. Polk Indian Peace Medal, Large Size in Copper, About Uncirculated.</b>
Julian IP-24, 76 mm. An early restrike in Copper using the new reverse die created circa 1849. Dies by John G. Chapman and John Reich. The obverse has an extremely high-relief portrait of Polk; the reverse shows the usual clasped hands and crossed pipes design that was 'de rigueur' in the from 1809-1849. Light wear and some scattered marks. WeÕve offered smaller sized versions of this medal before, but this large, full size edition is the scarcest and most desirable of all.
