I have the 1892 and 1893. The 1892 was the first us commemorative coin made. It was to celebrate the Chicago world fair but after the coins were minted the fair was pushed back one year because of a current pandemic that was happening. There was an Isabella quarter made as well, very tough finding them.
Great find!!
