For the first time in the history of the American Silver Eagle, the series gained a new design element in 2021. After issuing John Mercanti’s heraldic eagle design on the reverse of the coins through the start of the 35^th anniversary in 2021, the US Mint debuted an all-new reverse design from Emily Damstra in the same year.

The Silver Eagle bullion coins were introduced in 1986 with designs of Walking Liberty and the heraldic eagle of the United States. The Walking Liberty design dates to 1916 when Adolph A. Weinman created it for the US half dollar. The heraldic eagle dates to 1794 when Robert Scot, 1^st Chief Engraver of the US Mint, developed the emblem. In 2021, the US Mint overhauled the reverse with the introduction of a new bald eagle to mark the 35^th anniversary of the series.

All of the 2021-W Proof 1 oz American Silver Eagle Coins available here come in protective plastic slabs with a perfect certification. PF70 coins have full, original mint luster with no detracting flaws of any kind. These coins are also UCAM specimens and First Release coins. UCAM stands for ultra-cameo proof and refers to the strong, frosted design strike above a deeply-mirrored, clear field. The First Release designation is for coins received for grading within 30 days of release from the mint.

Walking Liberty graces the obverse of 2021-W Proof American Silver Eagle Type 2 Coins. This left-profile relief shows Liberty’s full-length figure walking toward the sun on the horizon with her right hand outstretched and her left carrying branches of oak and laurel.

An American bald eagle is in flight on the reverse side of 2021-W 1 oz Proof Silver Eagle Type 2 Coins. This new depiction comes from Emily Damstra and shows a powerful bald eagle soaring through the field with an oak branch in its talons.
