Why purchase this pristine 35th Anniversary 2021-W American Silver Eagle Type-1 proof coin?

The Type-1 style is characterized by the iconic heraldic eagle graphic on the reverse, which is credited to John Mercanti, the Mint's currently retired 12th Chief Engraver.

- The coin hails from the final proof release of the Type-1 Silver Eagle with a "W" Mint mark.
- The 40.60 mm diameter coin contains 1 Troy oz. of .999 fine silver.
- The perfectly graded silver dollar includes a celebratory 35th Anniversary style label.

Reverse: The reverse features a heraldic eagle with a bundle of arrows and an olive branch in its grasp. Inscriptions include "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "1 OZ. FINE SILVER," "ONE DOLLAR," the Mint mark "W" and "E PLURIBUS UNUM."
