Like I said, there is no reverse (I actually said there is no back...but you get the point.)

That example has made a couple of ebay appearances ... seller trying to market it as a PO01 coin.

It is not certifiable as such and worth only the value of the 90% silver it contains. Interesting curiosity if you are into such things ... but it is not worth anything to a lowball specialist.

Wow, that is one serious low ball candidate if it only had part of the date.

If it was a one year type commemorative it would be long gone and would be at PCGS by now. :)

Since the date is on the "back", I tried a special edit technique, but could bring out zero detail -- no ship, no lettering, no date.

It is worth melt.

Assuming by the the other comments it is being sold for more then melt.

If I could get it for melt I would counter stamp a date on the reverse and add it to my already full pocket.

I chose to preserve this 1892 as is.
