Throughout the timeline of the $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle, the Philadelphia Mint held a steady role. From 1850 to 1907, each year witnessed the production of these coins with the involvement of the Philadelphia Mint. Though the minting volume varied from year to year, it stands as the sole branch mint that can proudly claim responsibility for issuing the coins in every phase of the program’s history.

Offered in Mint State 63 condition, the 1900 Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coins exhibit their unique charm. Graded at this level, these coins display a slightly diminished mint luster, adorned with several minor contact marks and a few more noticeable marks scattered across the field. Moreover, small hairlines are observable without the aid of magnification, adding to the intricate details of these exceptional pieces.
As time went on in the Liberty Gold Double Eagle Series, the Philadelphia Mint remained an active producer of the coins. However, throughout much of the 1890s and the 1900s, the San Francisco Mint took over as the leading producer in terms of the volume of coins issued. While Philadelphia struck more than 1.8 million coins in 1900, San Francisco issued nearly 2.5 million coins.
The 1900 Pre-33 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coins boast distinctive obverse design elements. These include a left-profile bust of Liberty, adorned with flowing hair elegantly tied in a bun at the back, complemented by a dignified coronet crown atop her head. Encircling the field, a ring of 13 stars adds a touch of symbolism, while a date mark finds its place at the bottom.
On the reverse side of the 1900 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle, one can admire the captivating visuals of the Great Seal of the United States. A splendid rendition of the heraldic eagle stands front-facing with wings majestically spread. The eagle upholds the US national shield and firmly grasps the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace in its mighty talons.
