This turn-of-the-century issue has one of the most generous mintages in the Proof Liberty Head quarter eagle series (205 pieces), second only to the 1901 with a mintage of 223. The Proof 1900 is a more available date by the standards of its type, although as with all classic Proof gold issues it is scarce in an absolute sense. The typically offered survivor is in the Proof-60 to Proof-64 grade range.

The example to the left was sold by Stack's Bowers Galleries in the May 2013 New Orleans ANA Auction, where it sold for $111,625.
