2021 1 oz American Silver Eagle Coin (Type 2)

In its 35th year of production, the most recognized silver bullion coin on the planet, the American Silver Eagle, is receiving a historic redesign. Released to massive acclaim, the American Silver Eagle’s universal acceptance has made it the standard for investment-grade, silver coins worldwide. Issued annually by the US Mint in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition, each American Silver Eagle is struck from .999 fine silver and has a face value of $1 (USD), backed by the US Government. By law, the US Mint can issue redesigns on its coins every 25 years, and this revamp ensures a bright future for the popular silver coin.

The 2021 American Silver Eagle’s obverse presents a refreshed version of the historic Walking Liberty Half Dollar design, now more accurate to the original Adolph A. Weinman design minted from 1916 to 1947. Weinman’s initials are stamped directly below the motto IN GOD WE TRUST. The original reverse, John Mercanti’s heraldic eagle design, has been replaced by a new Emily Damstra design that features a descending American Bald Eagle grasping an oak branch in its talons. Inscribed around the reverse’s perimeter is the coin’s 1 oz metal weight, the term “FINE SILVER,” indicating the 99.9% pure silver content, and the term “ONE DOLLAR,” denoting it as US legal tender.

Another distinguishing feature of the new 2021 American Silver Eagle is an innovative security element designed to combat counterfeiting. You’ll notice the coin is intentionally missing a reed on the coin’s edge just below the year of issue if looking from the obverse side.

American Silver Eagles are generally struck at the West Point Mint; however, the San Francisco Mint and the Philadelphia Mint occasionally supplement production. No mintage caps exist on American Silver Eagle coins, and annual mintage numbers are demand-driven.

The 2021 American Silver Eagle Coin BU (Type 2) can be ordered as single 1 oz coins, in mint tubes of 20 coins, and sealed Monster Boxes of 500 coins.
