Expert Comments

Ron Guth

1900 was another large-mintage year for Liberty Head Nickel. This time, the mintage was 1.2 million coins more than the previous year. As a result, this date is very common in grades all the way up to MS67, where only a small handful of examples have been certified by PCGS.

Most examples are well sturkc, though some may show weakness on a few (and sometimes all) stars.

These estimates are based on a variety of sources, including population reports, auction appearances, and personal knowledge. Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.
