Thomas Jefferson Indian Peace Medal, 1801. Silver. Third Size. J.IP.4, Pr.39, B. 17. Very Fine to Choice Very Fine. 54.5mm. Rims 4.4 - 4.6mm thick. 408.9 gns. Deep silver gray in color with some light purple and rose iridescence on both sides. A piece with compelling eye appeal. Hanger skillfully removed long ago leaving almost no trace behind on the edge. Light scratches below the clasped hands on the reverse. Fields on both sides lightly tooled. Sharply struck for one of this size. Extremely rare: as noted, the second rarest of the three sizes in silver shells.
