Why add this impressively graded 2021 American Silver Eagle Type-1 bullion coin to your collection?
In mid 2021, in celebration of the thirty-fifth anniversary of the American Silver Eagle series, the U.S. Mint introduced a new reverse design (Type-2) to the classic silver dollar, replacing the Type 1 design. Coins of the series released from 1986 until mid-2021 with the original heraldic eagle reverse are now recognized as the Type-1 Silver Eagle. Early 2021 releases such as this example were some of the last to feature the Type-1 reverse design, which is credited to the Mint's currently retired 12th Chief Engraver, John Mercanti.
- This 2021 American Silver Eagle represents the final bullion release of the Type-1 style.
- The coin is struck from 1 Troy oz. of .999 fine silver, with a 40.60 mm diameter.
- The superbly graded silver dollar includes a designer signed label.
Sensational Type-1 Silver Eagle Design
Obverse: Lady Liberty is depicted on the obverse, with an American flag gracefully draped around her walking form. She confidently carries a bouquet of oak and laurel branches, which are emblematic of strength, honor and victory. Inscribed "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST" and "2021." This timeless rendition of Ms. Liberty was originally created by award-winning early 20th century sculptor Adolph A. Weinman for the 1916 Walking Liberty Half Dollar.
Reverse: A heraldic eagle with a bundle of arrows and an olive branch in its grip is centered beneath thirteen stars on the reverse. Inscribed "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "1 OZ. FINE SILVER," "ONE DOLLAR" and "E PLURIBUS UNUM."
