2021 Type 1 Proof Silver American Eagle - 1 Troy Oz .999 Pure

2021 Proof American Silver Eagle: A Collector's Guide

The 2021 Proof American Silver Eagle, adorned with the esteemed Type 1 design for its final issuance, represents an exceptional addition to any collection, known for its unparalleled design, impeccable craftsmanship, and considerable melt value. This proof coin marks a significant chapter in the American Silver Eagle series, initiated by the United States Mint in 1986, with the Type 1 design concluding its legacy in mid-2021 before transitioning to the Type 2 design.

Highly valued for its embodiment of one of the most iconic designs in the history of American numismatics, the Proof Silver Eagles series has consistently attracted attention for its investment quality and desirability among collectors, thanks to its pure silver content and outstanding craftsmanship. Every coin is securely encased in protective packaging to ensure its mint condition and visual appeal.

Although these proof silver coins are nominally valued at one dollar currency, their real value in precious metals far exceeds this face value. These US Mint Proof Silver Eagle coins are valued higher than standard silver bullion coins. These American Eagle coins are not graded.

The reverse, until the switch to Type 2 in September 2021 (Emily Damstra), displays John Mercanti's classical heraldic eagle design, a powerful symbol of America's strength.

Design and Designer:

• Obverse: Adolph A. Weinman's "Walking Liberty" graces the obverse, initially featured on the Half Dollar from 1916 to 1947. This design captures Lady Liberty in stride, cloaked in the American stars and stripes flag, extending her right hand in welcome while clutching a laurel branch and oak branch in her left, striding towards a promising dawn horizon highlighted by 13 sun rays, representing the original colonies.

• Reverse: The reverse, until mid-2021, bore John Mercanti's heraldic eagle design — an eagle behind a liberty shield, grasping an olive branch and arrows in its talons, "E PLURIBUS UNUM" in a banner in the eagle's beak, under 13 stars representing the original thirteen colonies, encircled by “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “ONE DOLLAR,” and, “1 OZ. FINE SILVER."

The 2021 Proof American Silver Eagle with its Type 1 design serves as a lasting homage to the U.S. Mint's tradition of excellence and an essential milestone in American numismatic history.
