2020–2021-S $1 1-oz Silver Eagle Type 1 & Type 2 Proof 2-pc Set NGC PF69UC w/Reverse Labels & 2-Coin Holder

San Francisco Silver Eagle Proof Set With Both Type 1 & Type 2 Coins!

Collectors have been waiting with bated breath for more than a year ever since the United States Mint announced that it would be changing the reverse image on its Silver Eagle coin, ending the 35-year run of former U.S. Mint Chief Engraver John Mercanti’s popular Heraldic Eagle design. And now the new design is here on the San Francisco Mint’s highly coveted Proof version. And in this offer, you can get both the last-year-of-issue Mercanti Type 1 proof version from 2020 and the first-year-of-issue Type 2 proof version from 2021 designed by Emily Damstra!

The New American Silver Eagle Comes In For A Landing

The new Silver Eagle reverse design is the work of Artistic Infusion Program (AIP) artist Emily Damstra and was sculpted by Mint Medallic Artist Michael Gaudioso. It displays a full image of a Bald Eagle coming in for a landing with an oak branch held in its talons as if to add to its nest. These Silver Eagles coins have been given a Type 2 pedigree to differentiate them from the Type 1 coins that bear the original Mercanti Heraldic Eagle reverse design.

Coveted Proof Versions From The San Francisco Mint

The Proof version of this spectacular coin has always featured razor-sharp details and impressive mirrored finishes. They are struck in the thousands compared to the millions for the bullion editions. That’s why you’ll need to act fast because who knows how long before these coins disappear into hands of other eager collectors!

Near-Perfect Proof Silver Eagles

These American Silver Eagle Proofs were expertly crafted by the mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields! In fact, each coin available here has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in near-perfect Proof-69 Ultra Cameo (PF69UC) condition, a distinction that means these almost-flawless coins showcase impressive full strikes and indistinguishable imperfections — well above and beyond the quality of the vast majority of coins in the series. Plus, the two coins will come sonically sealed in an oversized two-coin acrylic holder that has been encapsulated with a special label that features the reverse design of each coin.

COIN HIGHLIGHTS:

• WEINMAN’S CLASSIC WALKING LIBERTY . . .— Adolph A. Weinman’s iconic Walking Liberty design first made its debut on the 1916 half dollar, lasting three decades before bowing out in 1947. In 1986, this iconic image was reborn for the Silver Eagle with her exquisitely detailed beauty remaining on the coin ever since. Weinman’s initials appear for the first time directly under the “In God We Trust” motto on the coin’s obverse.
• . . . PAIRED FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH EMILY DAMSTRA’S LANDING EAGLE! – The reverse of the 2021 Proof featuring a full bodied Bald Eagle coming in for a landing was created by designer Emily Damstra.
• . . . PAIRED FOR A FINAL TIME WITH JOHN MERCANTI’S HERALDIC EAGLE – The reverse of the 20201 Proof features John Mercanti’s Heraldic Eagle design. This is the last year Mercanti’s design will appear on the reverse of the Silver Eagle Proof making it a highly coveted last-year-of-design release!
• EXPERTLY STRUCK IN HIGHLY PURE SILVER – The craftspeople of the U.S. Mint are known around the world for their skill and attention to detail. It’s this talent that transforms each one-ounce planchet of 99.9% fine silver into a beautiful piece of numismatic art measuring 40.6 mm in diameter.
• UNITED STATES LEGAL TENDER – Each American Silver Eagle coin is one dollar United States of America legal tender, as seen on the coin’s reverse.
• NEAR-PERFECT PROOF CONDITION – Your coins have been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) in near-perfect Proof-69 Ultra Cameo (PF69UC) condition.
• TYPE 1 & TYPE 2 DESIGNATIONS – The 2021 coin was given the Type-2 pedigree to note that it bears the new Damstra Eagle Reverse design, while the 2020 coin was given a Type 1 designation.
