This coin is a significant piece of numismatic history, symbolizing American prosperity and industrialization at the dawn of the 20th century.
As one of the last proof Liberty Head Double Eagles before the design was retired in 1907, it is highly sought after by collectors.
Obverse (Front): Features Lady Liberty’s left-facing profile, wearing a coronet inscribed with "LIBERTY." The date "1900" is positioned below her image. Encircled by 13 stars, symbolizing the original colonies.
The design is a continuation of Longacre’s original Liberty Head motif, which was used since 1850.
Reverse (Back): Displays the Great Seal of the United States, featuring a heraldic eagle with outstretched wings. The eagle holds an olive branch (symbolizing peace) and a bundle of arrows (symbolizing strength and readiness for war) in its talons. A shield is placed in front of the eagle’s chest.
An outstanding feature of this 1900 Liberty Head Double Eagle is the ultra-deep mirrored proof surfaces that sharply contrast with the frosted design elements—most notably visible in Lady Liberty's finely sculpted portrait and the intricately detailed eagle on the reverse. This strong cameo contrast, typical of high-grade proof strikes, gives the coin exceptional visual depth and striking eye appeal, making it stand out even among other Proof Liberty Head $20 gold pieces.
