Who loves 1892? Post them up here! Interesting note, Bowers in his Guidebook of Barber Silver Coins mentions that the first ANA convention was held in 1892, in Niagara Falls, NY. Not much publicity was given to it, and subsequently only 5 members showed up!

I love 1892!
Stunning
Now, @Floridafacelifter if I owned that coin, I would have to wear special sunglasses to look at it.....Which is a great problem to have! Magnificent Morgan.....They made them right back then!
All stunning examples!
@Eldorado9 - Those are beautiful!

Love both of those @catbert....In particular, the reverse of the Columbian Half....Holy perfection!....That thing rocks!
@Eldorado9
Oh my, the obverse on your opening Half is like looking through a kaleidoscope glass on a quick spin. Mesmerizing!

@Eldorado9 .... While I have not had any particular focus on 1892 coins, that red IHC is amazing. Cheers, RickO
@CommemDude Those are really, really superb. Thanks for posting!
@ricko Thanks! That one is a blazer when it catches the light! Ex. L. Shepherd coin.

@catbert Your 1892 Columbian half reverse toning is haunting me. Has a similar look to this Bust Half:
Yes it does! Wanna trade?
