Product Details

The 2021-W Proof Silver American Eagle represents a significant chapter in the legacy of U.S. Mint coinage. As a distinguished member of the American Eagle series, this piece showcases the beloved Walking Liberty design first introduced by Adolph A. Weinman in 1916. The Type 1 variant of this coin is particularly sought after, embodying a closing homage to the original Eagle design before the transition to Type 2, launched the same year. Its mirror-like proof finish accentuates the intricate details, making it a valued piece for both collectors and investors alike.

This exquisite silver coin, struck from .999 fine silver, offers a vivid depiction of Lady Liberty embracing the dawn of a new day on its obverse. The reverse features the iconic heraldic eagle with a shield, arrows, and an olive branch, capturing a unique representation of America's strength and peace. These artistic elements, coupled with its high-relief finish, enhance both its aesthetic and historical appeal.

The craftsmanship involved in the minting of this American Eagle coin is of the highest order. Born from the prestigious West Point Mint, and bearing the "W" mint mark, each coin is carefully struck to meet exacting standards expected of U.S. Mint's proof coinage. The inclusion of its original mint box and accompanying Certificate of Authenticity (COA) further enriches its collectible status, providing assurance of its quality and provenance.

In terms of historical context, the 2021 edition of the Silver American Eagle closes the chapter on the beloved original design, marking a pivotal moment in its storied history, heightening its relevance and desirability among numismatic enthusiasts. Its role in both personal collections and diversified investment portfolios cannot be overstated, given its standing as a globally recognized and trusted bullion coin.
