Title: United States. Mint Medal. Circa 1885 Grover Cleveland Indian Peace Medal. Julian IP-46. Yellow Bronze. Oval. Restrike. MS-66 NGC.
Header: Superb Grover Cleveland Indian Peace Medal
Description: 75 X 59 mm. Dies as illustrated. Superb quality throughout, as indicated by the NGC grade. Original Grover Cleveland Indian Peace Medals are downright rare, and the bronze Restrikes, minor rarities themselves, are often a collector’s only opportunity to acquire this type. Charles E. Barber prepared this type in 1885, though Bronze Originals were not struck until 1887. Restrikes were made in later years, partially to satisfy demand from the government for medals to distribute to Native Americans, but also to allow collectors a chance to own examples. This specimen was struck circa 1900. We’ve sold several copper Originals in the past for as high as $3,000. This is the first time we recall offering a restrike in such superb condition. Encapsulated in one of NGC’s oversized, protective display holders.
