1st purchase ever from Mr Rick Snow, author and authority on Flying Eagle and Indian Head Cents, really nice to talk with him. Another coin to commemorate the ascension of Bahá’u’lláh as His earthly life ended this year. His eldest son 'Abdu'l-Bahá, known amongst Bahá'is as the Perfect Exemplar, was appointed the authorized Interpreter and successor in Bahá’u’lláh's written will -- it is the first time in religious history that a Messenger of God has left a written will in His own hand, clearly delineating where continued guidance would be for the development of human spirituality and unity. In practical terms, the unity of this Faith was preserved -- there is only one Bahá'i Faith, not thousands of denominations or sects -- and thus it can, indeed, unite all humanity in peace and harmony: "unity in diversity" :-) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

For the first time in 55 years a new dime was introduced, with Mr Barber's design finally replacing the lovely Liberty Seated! 1892 saw the highest mintage for the series, reflecting the highest point of public and collector interest. Yet still there were only 1,245 proof dimes minted, and it is highly sought-after as a type coin due to its strong quality and excellent eye appeal. This beautiful silver dime is very rare finer, with only six coins graded higher.

* 1892 is the year Bahá’u’lláh passed away in the Holy Land, His final place of exile. * This coin was formerly in the Maltese Collection. During 40 years of imprisonment and exile, Bahá'u'lláh brought to humanity the latest guidance from God. In 2008, Bahá'u'lláh's shrine and surrounding gardens, located on the outskirts of Acre, Israel, and toward which Bahá'is turn in prayer each day as the most holy spot on earth, were placed on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites for their "profound spiritual meaning" -- you may read the article here: https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1220 :-)

Ex Teich Family Collection * 1892 is the year Bahá’u’lláh passed away * During 40 years of imprisonment and exile, Bahá'u'lláh brought to humanity the latest guidance from God. His shrine and surrounding gardens, located on the outskirts of Acre, Israel, were listed by UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 2008 for their "profound spiritual meaning" -- see https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1220 The news of His ascension was instantly communicated to the Ottoman Empire's Sultan Abdu’l-Hamid in a telegram which began with the words “the Sun of Bahá has set”. The sacred remains were interred within the precincts of His residence in Bahji, just outside the city walls of 'Akka where He had arrived in 1868 as a prisoner. It is now the holiest place of pilgrimage for members of the Bahá'i Faith, and each day Bahá'is turn toward it in prayer. For a full week after His passing, a vast number of mourners, rich and poor alike, tarried to grieve with the bereaved family, partaking day and night of the food that was dispensed by its members. Notables, among whom were Muslim Shi’ahs, Sunnis, Christians, Jews and Druzes, as well as poets, ulamas and government officials, all joined in lamenting the loss, and in magnifying the virtues and greatness of Bahá’u’lláh's life, character, and Revelation, many of them paying to Him their written tributes, in verse and in prose. Together, they all perfectly exemplifed Bahá’u’lláh's teaching of unity in diversity, that we all are one human family. His eldest son, `Abdu’l-Bahá, wrote: "The world’s great Light, once resplendent upon all mankind, hath set, to shine everlastingly from the Abhá Horizon, His Kingdom of fadeless glory, shedding splendour upon His loved ones from on high and breathing into their hearts and souls the breath of eternal life."
