About This Coin
The 2021 American Silver Eagle is a United States dollar from the American Silver Eagles 1986 to Date series. In 2021, Silver Eagles were struck at the San Francisco and West Point Mints; published sales figures for some of the year's issues differ or are not yet recorded here. The obverse features Liberty striding confidently toward the sunrise, draped in the American flag, carrying branches of laurel and oak symbolizing civil and military glory — Adolph Weinman's design adapted from the Walking Liberty Half Dollar and the reverse displays either John M. Mercanti's heraldic eagle behind a shield (Type 1) or Emily Damstra's eagle landing on a branch (Type 2). Both Type 1 (Mercanti heraldic eagle) and Type 2 (Damstra eagle landing) reverses were produced, the first major design change in 35 years. 40.6 mm in diameter. Designed by Adolph A. Weinman (obverse) / John M. Mercanti (reverse 1986-2020) / Emily Damstra (reverse 2021+).
