Silver-plated post 1900 bronze U.S. mint restrike of the 1850 Millard Fillmore Indian Peace Medal. Pre-1900 bronze have incomplete defining upper rims on the three ovals enclosing LABOR VIRTUE HONOR on the reverse. A new reverse die was made post-1900 with the rings intact. Another clue to its post 1900 production are the lathe lines on. the edge. The medal offered here has been drilled, buffed to simulate wear, & the silver plated. A rough patch in the plating on the bridge of the nose indicates plating. Lack of wear inside the hole indicates it was never worn. Finally, the medal is worn on the high points with no dings or other evidence of wear in the fields. A collectible piece, but not a "genuine" peace medal from 1850. [
