J757 GEORGIVS II DEI GRATIA WITH RED BEADS INDIAN PEACE MEDAL. OK..IF IT'S A FAKE TRYING TO DECEIVE...WHY WOULD THEY LEAVE OFF THE MOST SYMBOLIC PART OF IT...THE PEACE PIPE?
Hello please try to make your question is it? More clear and in normal punctuation I'm sure alot of the professionals here would be able to understand and interpret and answer what you were saying if you rephrase a bit because I cannot understand the question being asked. Thanks, Jacob
It's common practice to leave out some detail that separates genuine pieces from copies, for ethical and probably also legal purposes.
I'm asking if this Peace Medal could be an English version of the coin without the peace pipe? Silversmiths would have competed for the making of such coins wouldn't they? It is non magnetic.
I can see that would be the case...but it's a peace medal....why didn't they just leave their boots off or something? lol
Here's an interesting thread on these we have archived from back in 2008, FWIW: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/indian-peace-medal-restrike.36621/. Yours is radically different, and on both sides.
Can't you see? Where's your campfire? Your portrait doesn't look the same, either, the expression is different. Whatever that should say about the medal, you got me.
A couple things give it away as a modern replica. The pits in the metal are from casting, the hole is neatly beveled and the plastic beads.
Modern replicas of Indian peace medals are often found being sold on a string of glass beads. It's supposed to make them seem more vintage and Native Americany, but I think it's just a scam to trick people into thinking they are old.
