2021 Australia $1 1-oz Silver Wedge-Tailed Eagle NGC MS70 First Releases w/Mercanti Signature

The 2021 Wedge-Tailed Eagle Strikes!

In 2019, Australia’s Wedge-Tailed Eagle soared through the skies looking for its next meal. In 2020, it dove, talons out, ready to capture its prey. And now in 2021, it’s mealtime! This latest design from John Mercanti, the former Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint, shows Australia’s largest bird of prey snatching up a snake in its claws.

New Mercanti Design Is An Instant Classic

Like past year’s releases, this 2021-dated coin is struck in a full ounce of highly pure 99.99% fine silver. It continues the series of the Perth Mint’s modern-day masterpieces with a Mercanti design that bears a similarity to Mexico’s classic Libertad Coin, only that coin features an eagle with a snake in its beak while this coin shows and even mightier-looking eagle clutching a snake in its vice-like talons. The image is truly the prefect blend of design, precious metal and collector appeal.

Flawless First Release

Plus, each 2021 Australia One-Ounce Silver Wedge-Tailed Eagle available in this offer has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in flawless Mint State-70 (MS70) condition, a distinction that means each perfectly-graded coin has ZERO imperfections — showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended. In addition, NGC has certified that these Wedge-Tailed Eagles are First Releases (FR) coins, a designation that means they were received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository within the first 30 days of its release. 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.

Signed By A Coin Legend

To top it off, your coin will be sonically sealed in an acrylic holder and encapsulated with a label personally signed by the legendary John M. Mercanti, the U.S. Mint’s 12th Chief Engraver. A giant in the numismatic world, Mercanti has produced more coin and medal designs than any person in U.S. Mint history!

Previous Year’s Releases Are Sold Out at the Mint

The maximum worldwide mintage for this spectacular release has been set at just 50,000 — the same limited edition as the previous coins issued from 2018 to 2020 — mintages that are completely sold out at the mint! And, unless you can afford to travel all the way to Australia, the only place to secure one of these coins, is through GovMint and its marketing partners since we have the worldwide distribution rights outside of Australia!

This series has become a personal favorite of collectors around the world, both for the incredible Mercanti designs and its numismatic importance as the first-ever collaboration between a former U.S. Mint Chief Engraver and a foreign world mint. There’s still time to get on board the international phenomenon that is Australia’s Wedge-Tailed Eagle program.
