It has always been listed in "Medals of the United States Mint, the First Century 1792-1892 by R.W. Julian. MT-4 as the 45 mm size. I have a slightly higher grade example in my collection of Mint medals. The larger 76 mm bronze medal used the reverse wreath design used for the MT-6 Linderman medal, and on obverse, Pollock's title was preceded by THE.

oK dont have that book, any auction records?

Julian only published die mintages and medal composition mintages. Best source of auction records would be Heritage and Joseph Levine's Presidential Coin and Antique Company auctions. The silver 45mm size typically brings higher PR's than the 76 mm bronze or the 45 mm bronze. You might even obtain some price history through John Kraljevich (JK Americana). Joe Levine has a Facebook page in his company name.
Stack's might have auction records, Presidential might have sold some (know anyone with those records?!), and maybe Heritage? Can't think of any other likely auction houses.
This medal is also listed in J.F. Loubat's "Medallic History of The United States of America, 1776-1876". Available at Amazon on kindle. The hardbound book (2 volumes, 1 text and 1 plates) is difficult to acquire and is usually expensive ($300-$500). R.W. Julian's book is frequently available for < $100.

This medal appears occasionally on eBay. Adding it to a watch list may be helpful.

Who is P. Barber?
Did Charles walk into the Mint one morning and yell "Today everyone please call me Peter, or Paul, but not Mary"
