Why purchase this pristine Early Releases 2021(W) American Silver Eagle Type-1 bullion coin?
The American Silver Eagle series was launched by the U.S. Mint in 1986. For the 35th anniversary of the series in 2021, the Mint instituted the first-ever design change to the popular coin. Prior to the transition to the Type-2 variety in July 2021, the original Silver Eagle Type-1 style coin was minted for a few months, representing the final production of the heraldic eagle reverse design by former 12th Chief Engraver John Mercanti.
- This 40.60 mm diameter 2021(W) American Silver Eagle coin contains 1 Troy oz. of .999 fine silver.
- The coin represents the final release of the Silver Eagle with the original Type-1 heraldic eagle reverse.
- The coin is authenticated as a product of the West Point Mint on its label only.
- The perfectly graded coin earned the Early Releases attribution.
- The silver dollar is one of 1,811,000 minted.
Classic Type-1 Silver Eagle Design
Obverse: Lady Liberty is depicted on the obverse, with an American flag artfully billowing around her walking figure. She carries branches of oak and laurel, which are symbolic of strength, honor and victory. This time-honored image is borrowed from the 1916 Walking Liberty Half Dollar created by acclaimed sculptor Adolph A. Weinman. Inscribed “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST” and “2021.”
Reverse: The reverse features a gorgeously rendered eagle in a bold heraldic pose, grasping an olive branch in its right talon and a bundle of arrows in its left. Inscribed “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “1 OZ. FINE SILVER,” “ONE DOLLAR” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.”
