John Quincy Adams Indian Peace Medal Trial Strike Obverse Impression in Lead First / Largest Size Julian IP-11

Click an Image to Enlarge It
1825 (struck after 1905) John Quincy Adams Indian Peace Medal Uniface Trial Impression in Lead. First Size. Julian IP-11, Prucha-42. Choice About Uncirculated.

Likely Unique Trial Uniface Impression for a John Quincy Adams Indian Peace Medal, Largest Size, struck in a 93.5 mm, 5019.7 grains, about 1/4 inch thick round lead trial splasher. The medal is light satiny gray, with hard surfaces exhibiting a pleasing sharp appearance. This seems to be an impression taken from the master die created for the early later iteration of the John Quincy Adams medal, offered for sale by the United States Mint. This is believed a U.S. Mint die trial strike. The central device seems an identical match to the portrait on the original J.Q. Adams medals, yet the lettering exhibits some distinctive differences. The easiest difference to see quickly is the position and curvature in the tail of the Q in the president's name. On the originals, it curls well below the adjacent A, while on the later post-1900 Mint medals, it does not. An important related medal design strike and likely unique. Provenance Ex: Stack’s Ford/Boyd Collection Sale, Part 18, May 22, 2007, lot 80 (with original lot tag).

Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Earlier from New Netherlands Coin Company, before 1953; John J. Ford, Jr.; our (Stack's) sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part XVIII, May 2007, lot 80.
