Description
Why does this exceptionally graded 2021 American Silver Eagle 3-piece bullion coin set deserve a place in your collection of precious metals?
2021 is a milestone year for the U.S. Mint’s American Silver Eagle series. Annually issued since 1986, imagery of the series has remained consistent, featuring a timeless rendition of Lady Liberty on the obverse, with a heraldic eagle on the reverse. In 2021, the heraldic eagle Type-1 reverse will be honorably retired, and replaced with a freshly designed Type-2 eagle image featuring the national bird preparing to land.
- This set includes three 2021 American Silver Eagle bullion coins featuring the Type-2 imagery.
- Each coin in the set contains 1 Troy oz. of .999 fine silver.
- The silver dollars each measure 40.60 mm in diameter.
- Each coin features newly designed security features including a varied reeded edge.
- Each perfectly graded coin in the set earned the collectible First Strike designation.
Gorgeous Type-2 American Silver Eagle Design
Obverse: Lady Liberty is depicted on the obverse, walking towards the rising sun draped in the stars and stripes of the U.S. She carries a bouquet of oak and laurel branches, which are symbolic of strength, honor and triumph. Inscribed “LIBERTY,” “2021” and “IN GOD WE TRUST.” This time-honored personification of Liberty remains unaltered on the Type-2 Silver Eagle. However, for the first time ever, the initials “AW” appear, crediting sculptor Adolph A. Weinman with the design. The patriotic image was initially created for the Walking Liberty Half Dollar in 1916.
Reverse: An eagle in flight is centered on the reverse, with an oak tree branch in its grip. Inscriptions include “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “1 OZ. FINE SILVER” and “ONE DOLLAR.” This stunning Type-2 Eagle Landing image was crafted by renowned illustrator Emily Damstra, who has also created nature themed designs for the Royal Canadian Mint and the United Nations Postal Administration.
