From 1986 to 1992, the San Francisco Mint issued the coins of the Proof Silver Eagle Series. It would be another 19 years before the San Francisco Mint issued another Proof Silver Eagle. Production moved first to the Philadelphia Mint and remained there from 1993 to 2000. In 2001, the West Point Mint became the center of Silver Eagle coining.
In 2011, the San Francisco Mint issued Proof Silver Eagles again for the first time in history. Additionally, the mint has resumed coining on an annual basis as of 2018. The 2021 release of S-Proof American Silver Eagles is unique in that is only comes with a Type 2 version, the 2021 Silver Eagle with the new reverse design from Emily Damstra.
Walking Liberty appears on the obverse of 2021-S 1 oz Proof American Silver Eagles. This design shows Liberty’s full-length figure in left-profile relief as she walks toward the sun on the horizon. Her left hand carries the branches of oak and laurel as her figure is draped in the American flag.
An all-new depiction of the American bald eagle graces the reverse side of 2021-S 1 oz Proof Silver Eagles. Created in 2020 by Emily Damstra, this new design shows a bald eagle swooping down into the coin’s design field with its wings flexed and its talons outstretched.
These 2021-S 1 oz Proof American Silver Eagle Coins are available in perfect condition. PF70 coins are proof specimens with full, original mint luster and no detracting flaws. Ultra-cameo specimens are proofs with strong, frosted fields and deeply-mirrored, clear backgrounds.
