Abraham Lincoln Indian Peace Medal, 1862. Silver. First Size. J.IP.38, Pr.51, B. 53. Very Fine. Obverse signed S. ELLIS. DEL. SC.; reverse unsigned. 76.0mm. Rims 5.3 - 5.5mm thick. 3,099.9 gns. Even pearly gray color on an extraordinary heavy weight flan with atypical rounded rims that has been given a matte finish. This is clearly a struck silver restrike done at the Mint from the original dies (unsigned reverse, as noted) for a client, probably early in the past century.
Ex F.C.C. Boyd Estate.
