2021 American Silver Eagle Reverse Proof Set (Type 1 & Type 2 w/ OGP & COA) — 2 oz .999 Fine Silver

2021 was unlike any other year in the American Silver Eagle's 35-year history. The U.S. Mint introduced a completely redesigned reverse for the first time since the coin's debut in 1986 — and to mark the occasion, they released this exclusive two-coin Reverse Proof Set pairing the final Type 1 and the inaugural Type 2 side by side. It's a once-in-a-generation set that no serious ASE collector should be without.

Set Highlights

• Historic Design Transition: The only set to pair the classic Mercanti reverse (Type 1) with the new Emily Damstra reverse (Type 2) in reverse proof finish — a milestone moment frozen in silver.
• Reverse Proof Finish: The inverse of a traditional proof — frosted backgrounds with mirror-like, polished devices — creating a dramatic, high-contrast look unlike any standard issue.
• Two-Coin Set: Includes both the 2021-S Type 1 and the 2021-S Type 2 American Silver Eagle Reverse Proofs, each struck at the San Francisco Mint.
• Original Government Packaging & COA: Presented in the original U.S. Mint box with the official Certificate of Authenticity — complete and as-issued.
• U.S. Government Guaranteed: Full government backing for weight and purity from the U.S. Mint.
• 999 Fine Silver: Two complete troy ounces of .999 fine silver.

Design Details

• Obverse (Both Coins): Adolph A. Weinman's iconic Walking Liberty — Lady Liberty striding toward the dawn, the American flag draped across her shoulders — rendered in brilliant, mirror-like relief against frosted fields.
• Type 1 Reverse: John Mercanti's heraldic eagle design, used from 1986 through 2021, making its final appearance in this set.
• Type 2 Reverse: Emily Damstra's bold new design featuring a dynamic eagle in flight, landing on a branch — a fresh vision for the next era of the American Silver Eagle.

History & Significance

The American Silver Eagle celebrated its 35th anniversary in 2021 with the most significant change in the program's history — a new reverse design for the first time since 1986. The U.S. Mint marked this milestone with the release of this exclusive Reverse Proof Set, available only as a matched pair. With both coins struck in reverse proof and housed in their original government packaging with COA, this set represents the full story of a historic transition — the end of one era and the beginning of another, captured in .999 fine silver.
