2021 Silver American Eagle Type 2 Proof 70 Coin

This long-anticipated 2021 Silver Eagle Type 2 Proof issue marks the first time in the Silver American Eagle series’ history a new reverse design is featured. 

The new reverse motif, designed by illustrator and U.S. Mint Artistic Infusion Program member Emily Damstra, and sculpted by now-retired Mint sculptor-engraver Michael Gaudioso, features a strikingly dynamic image of an American eagle gracefully descending upon what is presumed to be a nest below. The mighty bird clutches an oak branch in its talons, wings outstretched elegantly to either side, and is encircled by the words “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” the coin’s “ONE DOLLAR” face value, and its “1 OZ. FINE SILVER” contents. The motto found on the Seal of the United States, “E PLURIBUS UNUM” – which means, “Out of many, one” – is inscribed on the coin’s surface to the right of the eagle, along with both the designer’s and sculptor’s initials on either side of the bird. The “W” mint mark, indicating production at the West Point Mint in New York state, appears just above the bird’s tail feathers.

The 2021 Silver American Eagle Type 2 Proof were not subject to a mintage limit but had a product limit of 300,000. There was an order limit of three coins per household and it sold out in less than 20 minutes. 

Adding even more allure to these esteemed items, each Proof 70 investment coin purchased through our firm is accompanied by a certification label hand-signed by former Mint Director Ed Moy. This exclusive value-add has grabbed headlines and garnered attention from across the precious metals sector since first being offered in the summer of 2016.
