Coins of 1892 from all mints, including Proofs, come from two reverse hubs. "Type I" (1892 only) has eagle's wing covering less than half of E(D); "Type II" (1892-1916) has wing covering more than half of E including its entire crossbar, and the other wing overlaps much of R. "Type I" coins are scarcer from all mints and in all grade levels, and form a minority of proofs.
Estimated Value $1,300 - 1,400.
