2021 1 oz American Silver Eagle Bullion Coins (Type 2, New Design) purchased from BGASC are brand new, brilliant uncirculated silver coins fresh from the United States Mint. The US Silver Eagle bullion coin is highly collected as well as purchased in volume for its silver metal content, and since it was first released in 1986, it has become one of the most popular silver bullion coins in the world.

New Design for 2021 Midyear Release
The United States Mint has unveiled a new reverse (tails) design for bullion and collectible versions of the American Eagle Silver Coin. 2021 marks the 35th Anniversary of the American Eagle Coin Program, and the new design begins shipping midyear 2021. The design depicts a single eagle coming in for a landing, carrying an oak branch as if to add it to a nest. Inscriptions are, “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “1 OZ. FINE SILVER,” and “ONE DOLLAR.” AIP designer Emily Damstra created the design, which was sculpted by Mint Medallic Artist Michael Gaudioso. Reflecting on her design, Ms. Damstra commented, “My inspiration for this design grew from a desire to show our national bird – with all of the values it embodies – in a unique way that could also convey traits such as diligence, cooperation, care, and protection.”

New Security Feature
A new anti-counterfeiting protection has been incorporated into the reeded edge of this newly redesigned bullion coin! On the bottom edge just below the date of mintage for Type 2 coins only, there is now a flattened spot, or “missing reed” which indicates an authentic U.S. Mint product.

Design
The Silver Eagle coin captures the grace and elegance of Sculptor-Engraver Adolph A. Weinman’s celebrated Walking Liberty design. The obverse features Liberty striding toward the sunrise, draped in the Stars and Stripes and carrying branches of laurel and oak in her arms to symbolize both civil and military glory. The reverse design depicts a single eagle coming in for a landing, carrying an oak branch. An interesting thing to note is that bullion strike Silver Eagles bear no mintmarks indicating which U.S. Mint facility produced the coins, therefore bullion Silver Eagles minted in West Point and San Francisco respectively are indistinguishable.

Composition
American Silver Eagle bullion coins contain 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver, weighing in at 31.10 grams. Because the Silver Eagle has a face value of $1 and is a legal-tender bullion coin with its weight, content, and purity guaranteed by the United States government, this coin is eligible to be held in individual retirement accounts (IRAs).
