The new 2021 Silver Eagle Type 2 coin was designed by Emily Damstra. A member of the US Mint Artistic Infusion Program, Ms. Damstra has previously completed two designs for the US Mint and its America the Beautiful Series, as well as several wildlife-themed collections from the Royal Canadian Mint. Her design replaces the 1986 depiction of the Heraldic Eagle completed by John Mercanti, the former 12th Chief Engraver of the United States Mint.
All of the 2021 1 oz Silver American Eagle Two-Coin Sets available here offer the Type 1 and Type 2 designs of the 2021 Silver American Eagle in a singular PCGS slab. The slab includes a special American bald eagle label with the eagle soaring across the two labels in the slab. Graded Mint State 70, these coins have full, original mint luster with no detracting flaws of any kind. Within the slab, the two reverse fields are arranged to showcase on the same side along with the Eagle Label.
On the obverse of 2021 Silver American Eagles is the effigy of Walking Liberty. Adolph A. Weinman designed this image in 1916 for the half dollar. It depicts Liberty in left-profile relief walking toward the sun. On the Type 2 issue, you will find Adolph A. Weinman’s original signature mark with his “AW” initials. This brings the modern coin’s design closer to the original work from Weinman.
The reverse of the 2021 1 oz Silver Eagle Coins features the American bald eagle in two different images. The Type 1 coin features John Mercanti’s heraldic eagle from 1986, while the Type 2 coin comes with a bald eagle in flight. The bird flexes its powerful wings as it clutches an oak branch. The new Type 2 coins have an anti-counterfeiting measure included in the form of a variation in the reeded edge of the coins.
