The 2021 Silver American Eagle Type 1 is a one-ounce .999 fine silver coin produced by the United States Mint and certified MS70 by the Numismatic Guaranty Company. MS70 represents a perfect grade on the Sheldon scale, meaning the coin exhibits absolutely no post-production imperfections under 5x magnification. This particular piece carries the original reverse design, distinguishing it as a Type 1 within a transition year that holds meaningful significance for collectors and numismatists alike.
We carry this coin as part of our graded numismatic inventory, where certification from NGC provides independent verification of both condition and authenticity. As an authorized NGC dealer, we are well-positioned to offer third-party graded material with the documentation and confidence that experienced buyers expect.

We carry this coin as part of our graded numismatic inventory, where certification from NGC provides independent verification of both condition and authenticity. As an authorized NGC dealer, we are well-positioned to offer third-party graded material with the documentation and confidence that experienced buyers expect.
The American Silver Eagle program launched in 1986 under the Liberty Coin Act, establishing what would become the most widely recognized silver bullion coin issued by the United States government. The series was designed to provide a government-backed silver coin with a guaranteed weight and purity, filling a gap that had existed in the American numismatic market since silver coinage was retired from circulation.
The year 2021 marks a pivotal moment in the series. The United States Mint introduced a redesigned reverse for coins struck from mid-2021 onward, creating two distinct types within the same year. Coins carrying the original John Mercanti reverse design became known as Type 1, while those featuring the new reverse by Emily Damstra are designated Type 2. This split makes 2021 one of the most historically notable years in the Silver Eagle program, and the Type 1 designation carries added significance as the final iteration of a reverse design that spanned the program's first 35 years.
The obverse features Adolph A. Weinman's Walking Liberty design, first introduced on the half dollar in 1916 and widely regarded as one of the finest coin designs ever produced by the United States Mint. Liberty is depicted in full stride, draped in the American flag, with her right hand extended toward the rising sun. The composition projects forward motion and national symbolism with a clarity that has defined the Silver Eagle's visual identity since the program began.
The Type 1 reverse, designed by John Mercanti, displays a heraldic eagle with a shield at its chest, arrows in its left talon and an olive branch in its right, with a constellation of 13 stars above. The design reflects classical American iconography and served as the program's signature reverse for 35 years. On an MS70-graded example, every element of both the obverse and reverse is rendered with absolute precision, free of any contact marks, hairlines, or surface irregularities that would diminish the strike's visual impact.
Every 2021 Silver American Eagle Type 1 in our NGC MS70 inventory has been independently graded and encapsulated by the Numismatic Guaranty Company. NGC is one of the two leading third-party grading services in the numismatic industry, and an MS70 designation reflects the strictest possible standard of post-production condition. The coin is sealed in a tamper-evident NGC holder that protects the surface and provides a permanent record of the assigned grade.
As an authorized dealer for both NGC and PCGS, we have direct access to certified material and the expertise to evaluate it properly. The United States Mint strikes Silver Eagles to a guaranteed weight of one troy ounce and a purity of .999 fine silver, backed by the full authority of the federal government. Third-party certification adds an additional layer of assurance that the coin you receive is exactly what it is represented to be, without requiring independent verification at the point of purchase.
MS70 is a perfect grade, awarded to coins that display a full, sharp strike and flawless surfaces with no post-production imperfections visible under standard grading magnification. Achieving this designation requires a coin that has been struck cleanly and handled with exceptional care from the moment of production. Among any given mintage, only a fraction of coins will qualify, which reflects the rarity of a technically perfect specimen within an otherwise widely produced series.
NGC MS70-graded coins are delivered in their original NGC sonically sealed holder, commonly referred to as a slab, which protects the coin's surfaces and preserves its certified condition. Each coin is individually encapsulated with a label identifying the coin type, date, grade, and certification number. The holder itself serves as both protection and documentation, and the certification number can be verified directly through NGC's online registry. No additional handling is required or recommended upon receipt.
Pricing for this coin reflects two distinct components: the underlying silver value tied to the current spot price of silver, and the numismatic premium associated with the MS70 grade and the Type 1 designation. The spot component fluctuates with live market conditions, while the numismatic premium is influenced by collector demand, population report data from NGC, and the historical significance of the 2021 Type 1 as the final year of the original reverse design.
Within the NGC population report, MS70 coins represent the top tier, and the number of examples certified at that grade relative to total submissions directly influences how the numismatic market prices them. Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions and is structured to give buyers a transparent and accurate picture of what they are paying for, separating the metal component from the grade-driven premium rather than obscuring them behind a single number.
The American Silver Eagle is among the most liquid silver coins in the world, and the graded market for NGC MS70 examples is active and well-established. Third-party certification facilitates resale by providing buyers with independently verified condition information, reducing the friction that typically accompanies private transactions involving numismatic coins. MS70-graded Eagles trade regularly across dealer networks, auction platforms, and direct secondary markets.
We operate a two-way market that supports both buying and selling within the same platform. Customers who purchase graded material from us have access to competitive buyback pricing, and we encourage buyers to consider liquidity as part of the acquisition decision rather than an afterthought. Our bid/ask spread data, available on each product page, reflects current market conditions and provides a transparent view of the full transaction cost before a purchase is made.
The 2021 Type 1 occupies a genuinely distinct position within the Silver Eagle series. It is the final year in which the original John Mercanti reverse design appears, and within that final year, the number of pieces graded MS70 by NGC is finite by definition. For collectors focused on registry sets or condition-specific acquisitions, this coin represents a meaningful checkpoint that cannot be reproduced.
Beyond its numismatic appeal, the coin retains all of the attributes that make the Silver Eagle broadly recognized: one troy ounce of .999 fine silver, United States Mint production, and legal tender status. The NGC slab eliminates the need for additional authentication and makes the coin easy to handle, store, and transfer without risking surface contact. Whether the priority is condition rarity, the historical significance of the transition year, or the underlying silver content, this coin addresses all three without compromise.
We have been building long-term customer relationships since 2010, and our approach to the graded coin market reflects the same principles that guide our broader business: transparent pricing, authenticated product, and a buying experience that does not rely on pressure or obscured costs. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau and active membership in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association reflect a consistent standard of professionalism across both bullion and numismatic categories.
As an authorized dealer for NGC and PCGS, we are positioned to offer graded material with confidence in its provenance and certification integrity. Every coin is verified before it is listed, and our pricing reflects real market conditions rather than inflated retail structures. When it comes time to sell, our two-way market model means you are not left searching for a buyer independently. We believe the selling side of a transaction deserves as much transparency as the buying side, and we build that into the experience from the start.
