Julian IP-39. Superb in its quality and stunning eye appeal with perfect rims and no spotting. Beautiful dark mahogany-bronze shows even glossy perfect surfaces on both sides. An outstanding, impressive example having sharp high rims and details. Obverse design: Caped bust right, name and title around, date below. Reverse design: Native American Indian Warrior Scalping scene, with quiver, bow, tomahawk, and Indian bust around central vignette of a Native American plowing his fields, children Playing Baseball in the background. Type with the sculptors signature on the reverse. This important American medal also includes the very First Depiction of a Baseball Game being played in metallic form. On the center of the reverse is a design showing children playing Baseball. A beautiful example of this popular type, avidly sought after for both its connection to Lincoln (and the fine portrait by Salathiel Ellis) and its early depiction of baseball on the reverse. The finest we have offered.
