Title: United States. Mint Medal. Circa 1853 Franklin Pierce Indian Peace Medal. Julian IP-32b. Small Date Variety. Bronze. MS-63 NGC.
Header: Original Franklin Pierce Indian Peace Medal
Description: 76 mm. X 7.5 mm thick. Dies as illustrated. This large-sized Indian Peace Medal was struck in bronze at the United States Mint in Philadelphia. This is the Small Date -- 9 mm wide -- variety mentioned in Julian’s catalog of U.S. Mint Medals. Julian states the large date medal was struck from the original 1853-dated dies during 1855-1870. Others, however, say that the small date 9 mm variety is indeed the original, and believe that the large date die was made circa 1870 and used afterwards. The Silver Franklin Pierce Indian Peace Medal illustrated in Prucha is of the Small Date variety, suggesting that the Small Date is indeed the original issue.
