The coin features a Walking Liberty design on the obverse, showing Lady Liberty walking towards the sun. The reverse features a Heraldic Eagle, designed by John Mercanti. This particular coin is a Type 1 American Silver Eagle from 2021.

Historical Significance

The American Silver Eagle program was established by the Coinage Act of 1985 and first minted in 1986. It is the official silver bullion coin of the United States. The Heraldic Eagle reverse was used from the coin's inception until mid-2021 when a new reverse design was introduced, making the 2021 Type 1 a significant coin as it represents the final year of this design.

Estimated Value

The value varies based on market conditions, grade, and any special designations. This coin is graded MS 69 and designated "Early Releases", which adds value. A rough estimate for a 2021 Type 1 Silver Eagle in MS 69 Early Releases would be in the range of $50 - $70, but this can fluctuate.

Care Instructions

Handle the coin with care using cotton gloves to avoid transferring oils from your skin. Store the coin in a cool, dry environment, preferably in a quality coin holder or album to prevent damage from elements or accidental drops.
