Expert Comments

Ron Guth

The 1900 Eagle is a common coin, with thousands of examples certified in Mint State. Most of the examples known today have come out of Europe. They tend to be somewhat baggy, thus the largest population is in MS62. Although the 1900 Eagle is not as plentiful as the 1899 and the 1901, collectors can still find Gem examples on the market. Only in MS66 does this date become truly rare. No MS67 examples have been certified by PCGS in their more than 30 years of history.
