<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 26045198, member: 101855&quot;]Here is the 19th century version of the Millard Fillmore Indian Peace medal. This piece has a diameter of 76 mm (about 3 inches), and is listed in Julian as IP-30</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1656090[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Fillmore was not a popular president. The Fugitive Slave Law, which was part of the Compromise of 1850, did not help his reputation. Therefore the 19th century mintage was 12 pieces. An undisclosed number were made in the 20th century with the modern &quot;yellow bronze&quot; finish. </p><p><br /></p><p>I paid $750 for this one, but these medals have become more popular. The last time I tried to buy one of the series in a Heritage auction, I got run out of the building. My bid was not even close.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
