In the middle of 2021, the United States Mint introduced new reverse designs for its American Eagle Silver and Gold Coins. As a result, two different reverse designs were released for the 2021 American Silver Eagle: one with the original reverse and one with the updated artwork. To recognize this historic change, the mint released a special 2-Coin Designer Set featuring both versions in reverse proof condition. Today, 2021 Reverse Proof American Silver Eagle 2-Coin Designer Sets in certified condition are available at BullionMax.

The updated Silver Eagle reverse was chosen in 2020 after a review of more than 35 possible designs. Emily Damstra’s image of a bald eagle in flight was selected as the new look for the series. Damstra has worked with both the Royal Canadian Mint and the United States Mint and is part of the US Mint’s Artistic Infusion Program.

Each 2021 Reverse Proof American Silver Eagle 2-Coin Designer Set is housed in a protective two-coin slab with a dual-core background that enhances the display of the coins. A PR70 grade from the Professional Coin Grading Service indicates a coin with full, original mint luster and no visible imperfections. The First Strike designation means the coins were submitted to PCGS for grading within 30 days of their release from the mint.

On the obverse of the 2021 Reverse Proof American Silver Eagle 2-Coin Designer Set coins, you will find the well-known Walking Liberty design. Created in 1916 by Adolph A. Weinman, this design originally appeared on the Walking Liberty Half Dollar and remains a defining feature of the Silver Eagle series.

The reverse designs in the 2021 Reverse Proof American Silver Eagle Designer Set differ between the two coins. The Type 1 coin showcases John Mercanti’s heraldic eagle design, while the Type 2 coin features Emily Damstra’s soaring bald eagle image introduced in 2021.
