2021 $1 1-oz Silver American Eagle Type 1 NGC MS69 w/Mercanti Signature

2021 Silver Eagles — Final Year Of Design!

For more than 30 years, American Eagle Silver Dollars — better known as Silver Eagles — have been a staple of the silver bullion coin world. These legal-tender U.S. Silver Dollars each contain a full ounce of 99.9% fine silver and are perhaps the most widely collected silver bullion coin on the planet. And in 2021 these iconic coins are getting a face lift! The U.S. Mint announced that in 2021 — midway through the year’s mintage — the reverse of the Silver Eagle will be replaced with a brand-new design. “Firsts” and “lasts” are major parts of any collection, and these 20231-dated “last year of design” coins are sure to become key Silver Eagle dates.

Final Release Of John Mercanti’s Heraldic Eagle

It’s true; these 2021-dated coins will be the final Silver Eagles to feature John Mercanti’s Heraldic Eagle design that appears on the reverse. The U.S. Mint had announced that 2020 would be the last year to feature the design, but in the fall it confirmed that it would begin its production run of 2021 dated Brilliant Uncirculated bullion Silver Eagles with John Mercanti’s original reverse design, and complete the 2021 run with the new reverse design. This coin was given a Type-1 pedigree to note that it bears the original Mercanti Heraldic Eagle Reverse design. It represents a monumental year for the Silver Eagle Series with a first and a last in the same year of the Mint’s most popular coin!

Signed By John Mercanti!

But for the elite collector, a raw bullion coin isn’t always enough. That’s why we’ve managed to secure some of these impressive 2021-dated Silver Eagles that come with a label personally signed by John Mercanti, the 12th Chief Engraver at the U.S. Mint and the designer of the coin’s reverse!
