This 2021 type 2 proof silver eagle was minted at San
Francisco and includes the original mint packaging,
velvet presentation case and Certificate of Authenticity.
The coin features the classic "S" mintmark on the reverse.
These are the "Type 2" 2021 silver eagles, which feature
an all-new eagle reverse design - the first major design
change to our beloved silver eagle in 35 years!
The obverse features Adolph A. Weinman's classic Walking
Liberty design - dating back to 1916 - with an ever hopeful
Liberty striding confidently toward the sunrise, draped in
the strength of the Stars and Stripes carrying in her arms
branches of laurel and oak to symbolize both civil and
military glory. The designer's initials "AW" were added
just below the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST". The all-new reverse
design, by artist Emily S. Damstra, features a larger
stylized eagle coming in for a landing, carrying an oak
branch, with the following inscriptions: "UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA", "E PLURIBUS UNUM", "1 OZ. FINE SILVER", and "ONE
DOLLAR".
Proof coins are specially minted for collectors
and are made from highly polished planchets (coin
blanks) and dies. These coins receive the highest
quality strike possible and can be distinguished
from regular uncirculated coins by their
sharpness of detail, deeply frosted cameo image,
and brilliant mirrored background.
