2021 $1 1-oz Silver Eagle Type 1 Reverse Proof PCGS PR70 DCAM First Day of Issue w/Flag Label

Sold Out At the Mint: Mercanti's Last Reverse Proof Silver Eagle

The wave of collector frenzy that met the United States Mint's release of its highly anticipated 2021 Type 1 & Type 2 American Silver Eagles was something not seen since the release of the famous Treasury Hoard back in the 1960s! The final Silver Eagles featuring John Mercanti's Heraldic Eagle design were collected as fast as the Mint could strike them. The same went for the first Silver Eagles bearing the new Emily Damstra of an Alighting Eagle. As there were TWO designs in the same year, the Mercanti coins were designated as Type 1 Silver Eagles while the Damstra coins were designated as Type 2 Silver Eagles.

Flawless Proof Condition Coins From Among The First Issued

Lost amid all the hoopla of this first design change to the Silver Eagle program in 35 years was a small release of Reverse Proof Silver Eagles. Not only was this a small, limited edition, but it represents the LAST time the Mercanti design will be struck as a Reverse Proof coin! In this offer you can secure the Type 1 Silver Eagles struck at the West Point Mint. What's more, each Type 1 Reverse Proof Silver Eagle available here has been graded by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) as being in flawless Proof-70 Deep Cameo (PR70 DCAM) condition, a distinction that means these perfectly-graded proofs have ZERO imperfections – showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended.

In addition, PCGS has further certified that these Silver Eagles are First Day of Issue (FDI) coins, meaning that they were received by PCGS or a PCGS-approved depository by the release date or on the business day within 24 hours of the official release date. Collectors seek out these coins because they are produced with new dies and considered to have sharper strikes and deeper mirrors than those that are struck later. Also, the population of coins labeled First Day of issue is only a fraction of the total mintage! Each will come sonically sealed in an acrylic holder and encapsulated with a special American Flag label.

Low Mintage Will Have Collectors Scrambling For These Coins

And speaking of the mintage, The Mint released just 125,000 of these 2021-W Type 1 Reverse Proof Silver Eagles. That pales in comparison to other Silver Eagle mintages. And, as the last Silver Eagles to feature Mercanti's iconic design, you can bet that demand will skyrocket. In fact, these coins were available only in special two-piece sets paired with a Type 2 Reverse Proof Silver Eagle struck at the San Francisco Mint – and the entire mintage of these two-piece sets completely sold out at the U.S. Mint on the same day they were released!

Silver Eagles like these are perennial favorites, usually flying out of our vaults as soon as they arrive! Whether you're new to the series, a diehard collector or a silver stacker looking to add to your reserve, this is your chance to secure the Type 1 Silver Eagle from 2021 with a unique Reverse Proof finish! Don't wait – order yours today!
