1900

Mintage:  66,831,502

Proofs:  2262

Comments:  1900 cent production increased to almost 13 million more compared to the previous year of 1899.  Cent production for the 1900's will continue to set record high mintages for the series, with the exception of 1908 S, 1909 and 1909 S.  Examples of 1900 cents are widely available, so choosing the perfect addition to a set should not be an arduous task.

The majority of die varieties for this year consist of minor repunched dates.  Variety 1 seems to be the best repunched date, with wide repunching visible on the last 0.  Vaieties 13 and 25 feature doubled die reverses, though they are minor class II.
