Why Choose the 2021 American Silver Eagle Type 2?

The 2021 Type 2 American Silver Eagle is a key transition piece—marking the first major design change in the coin's 35-year history. The updated eagle reverse is more lifelike and modern, while the obverse was also digitally refreshed to more closely match the original 1916 Walking Liberty Half Dollar design.

As the first year of the new design, 2021 Type 2 Silver Eagles are highly sought after for both historical and aesthetic reasons. The Philadelphia Mint issue, in BU condition, represents a cleaner, classic choice for collectors.
