2021 marked the 35th anniversary of the American Silver Eagle Series. This date mark was not only important as a significant date mark for the series, but also because it introduced the first-ever design change in the series. The release of Type 2 Silver Eagles starting in July meant the end of John Mercanti’s original design and the start of a new era with an image from Emily Damstra. Now, 2021-W 1 oz Proof American Silver Eagle 35th-Anniversary Coins are available to you for purchase online at JM Bullion.

The 2021 release featured two waves of American Silver Eagles. To start the 2021 release schedule, the United States Mint issued the so-called Type 1 coins. These Silver Eagles featured the original reverse design from John Mercanti. The Type 1 release was limited to BU Silver Eagles and W-Proof Silver Eagles.
In July 2021, the US Mint rolled out the new Type 2 design from Emily Damstra. This image is the future of the Silver Eagle Series and is the only design available on the reverse starting in 2022. The Type 2 release in 2021 included BU Silver Eagles, W-Proof Silver Eagles, Burnished Silver Eagles, and S-Proof Silver Eagles.
Walking Liberty is on the obverse of 2021-W Proof Silver Eagle 35th-Anniversary Coins. This image from Adolph A. Weinman shows the full-length figure of Liberty walking toward the sun as it crests a mountain peak. The image of Liberty includes an American flag draped around her figure with the branches of oak and laurel in her left hand.
A new soaring bald eagle design graces the reverse side of the 2021-W Proof American Silver Eagle Coin. This new image shows the bald eagle in a slight left-profile relief with its wings flexed and its talons clutching a large oak branch.
These 2021-W 1 oz Proof American Silver Eagle 35th Anniversary Coins are available to you for purchase in perfect condition. PF70 coins showcase full, original mint luster with no detracting flaws. These coins are also UCAM specimens with strong, frosted designs and deeply-mirrored, clear fields.
