Out of an original mintage of 1,874,460, a massive 65,235 have been graded by PCGS. And from among those, a staggering 11,382 hold the superior grade of MS64 (as of 3/2021). It is possibly that so many were preserved to commemorate the advent of the then brand new 20th century. Plus the CAC certification tells you it is a premium specimen for its grade. The existence of so many pieces makes this a relatively affordable piece for the collector with limited resources for numismatic works of art. Wouldn't this look spectacular in your collection?

1900 $20 Liberty Head Double Eagle PCGS MS64 (CAC)--$3,030.00

      It is with pleasure that we at AUCM offer you a sparkling--and relatively affordable--example of the 1900 $20 gold piece. This would be the perfect addition to a type set of U.S. gold coins or a great stand-alone gold coin for your collection. NGC Coin Explorer tells us, "The 1900 is one of the two or three most common dates in the Liberty Head Double Eagle series. Only the 1904 is definitely more common. A great many uncs of this date exist and there are plenty of choice and gem uncirculated pieces to go around." It is quite possible that so many exist in excellent grades because 1900 was the first year of the new century. Few people have the opportunity to celebrate more than one of those!

      The obverse of the $20 Double Eagle features a left-facing Liberty design influenced by Greco-Roman sculpture. A pearl-encrusted coronet inscribed with “Liberty” adorns her wavy hair, which flows down her neck. Thirteen stars that represent the original colonies/states surround her bust. The date is found below the image of Liberty. The reverse presents Longacre's exaggerated design, featuring a heraldic eagle, one that is quite different from eagles previously found upon our coinage. Dramatic rays emanate from the national bird, and a circle of 13 stars is found hovering over the eagle. Two contrived ribbons encircle the awkward creature, one of which the eagle holds firmly in its beak. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM is split between the two ribbons. A federal shield is found on its breast and arrows and the ivy branch of peace are found, respectively, in its right and left talons. The inscription UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and TWENTY D. surround the bird at the coin's rim.
