Very nice and definately worth 2075.
You will find plenty of buyers when you go to sell it eventually.

Nice MS64 1892-S. I believe I saw that coin on eBay several times and was very tempted to buy it. Congratulations, it looks to be a very nice coin and your images look much better than those used on eBay by the seller. Seeing your images makes me kick myself for not buying it.
Many of the barber halves are currently undervalued in MS 64 and above and are becoming extremely hard to find nice. The 1892-S is a great date and very tough in grades VG to AU, but is available in mint state due to the 1892 being the first year of issue. First years of issue often are saved in greater numbers because the novelty of the new coin. I would watch for your coin to increase in value in the next several years. It is a great type coin or a good start on a mint state set.

Dr. Pete,
If you know the other Dr. with the lone 67, 1892 S, maybe you could ask him to post pics of the coin.
The 1892 S has always been among my favorite dates in the series. When my coin was first offered for sale, I hesitated buying it because of the price but since I aquired it back in the spring of 2000 I have never regreted it.
I have shaken my head in disbeliefe many times watching common date lincolns in high grade red or proof buffalo nickles or m.s. 65 Indian 2 and a half dollar gold sky rocket in value the last couple years, but as other Barber collectors have told me, don't complain about it, take advantage of it.
I think their are more secret Barber collectors then most people realize.

Not all registry set collectors want to post images of their coins, and in some series, sets with images are in the minority. It takes a good deal of time to image multiple coins, and then post them. My first attempt used an HP scanner that does a reasonable job. The scanner has a great advantage in that you can quickly scan up to nine slabbed coins at a time.
I now have a digital camera that I am still learning how to use optimally. Unfortunately, only time and practice will perfect such images. At some point I will try to get my whole set imaged with the camera. Just don't hold your breath for now.
Regarding the prices on modern coins (I define as those since 1950) I am surprised how much some of these sell for, but it is a free market and I am quite tolerant of people collecting whatever they wish. I share the concern of many that some of the prices on some modern coins could come crashing down, but that's a risk we all take no matter what we buy. I have been around this earth long enough to recognize that I might well be surprised how sustained and popular the market for many of the more modern coins becomes.
For myself, I like the older series like the barber halves because of the overall rarity of the issues in mint state. We all recognize that it is extremely unlikely at this point that the mint or someone else will discover bags of uncirculated barber coinage (what a neat find that would be) that would severely affect the populations of this very thin market. I once heard a rumor that Well's Fargo had bags of uncirculate barber halves, but as with most rumors, it has not been substantiated.

You got a great buy on a great coin. Best of luck to you.
