Mintage of 36,026 - this commem is a regular favorite amongst collectors. Most of them that I find are darker in color. This coin has a nice patina and not too dark. According to David Hall "The 1900 Lafayette dollar is one of the most important issues of the silver commemorative series. It is the only silver dollar commemorative of the 1892-1954 "classic era" of U.S. commemorative coinage."
