Description

The 2021 (S) Reverse Proof Silver Eagle - Flying Eagle is a proof Silver Eagle struck at the San Francisco Mint, part of the American Silver Eagles 1986 to Date series. The coin was sold only in the two-coin 2021 Reverse Proof Designer Edition set. 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 an eagle landing on a branch, designed by Emily Damstra. Both Type 1 (Mercanti heraldic eagle) and Type 2 (Damstra eagle landing) reverses were produced, the first major design change in 35 years. As a proof issue, this coin was struck multiple times on specially prepared polished planchets using polished dies, producing mirror-like fields and frosted design elements. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, established during the California Gold Rush and now primarily producing proof and collector coins. Struck in .999 fine silver, weighing 31.1 grams, 40.6 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #889422.
