1900 Double Eagles Liberty Head NGC MS-62

The 1900 Double Eagle Liberty Head is a $20 gold coin minted in 1900 featuring the Liberty Head design, created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. The coin is composed of 90% gold and 10% copper, with a total weight of 33.44 grams. The "Double Eagle" denomination refers to the $20 value of the coin, and it was widely used in large-scale financial transactions during this era.

An NGC MS-62 grade indicates that the coin is in Mint State, classified as a "Choice Uncirculated" coin. This means the coin is well-preserved with full luster, but it does have noticeable imperfections like contact marks or minor scratches. These imperfections are typically seen from handling or storage but don't detract from the overall appearance. In this grade, the coin still displays sharp details and its original mint finish, making it an attractive example for collectors.

The 1900 Double Eagle Liberty Head is not considered a rare date in the series, but coins in MS-62 condition are highly valued by collectors due to their relatively well-preserved nature, particularly compared to lower-grade coins. Its value may also be influenced by demand, and examples in higher grades (e.g., MS-63 or MS-64) can fetch significantly higher prices.

This coin represents a key part of U.S. history, as it was minted just before the transition to the Saint-Gaudens design in 1907, marking the end of the Liberty Head series for U.S. $20 gold coins.
