The 2021 Silver American Eagle Type 2 is a one-ounce silver coin struck by the United States Mint from .999 fine silver and carries a face value of one dollar as legal tender of the United States. What separates this particular piece is its NGC MS70 grade, meaning an independent numismatic authority has certified it as absolutely perfect with no post-production imperfections visible under ten-times magnification. This is not a standard bullion offering pulled from a tube; it is a certified, encapsulated example representing the highest grade issued for a given series.
The Type 2 designation reflects a significant design revision introduced mid-year in 2021, making this coin a distinct subcategory within the broader American Silver Eagle series. We carry this coin as a graded collectible that appeals equally to numismatists and buyers who want a certified, first-strike-quality silver coin.

This is not a standard bullion offering pulled from a tube; it is a certified, encapsulated example representing the highest grade issued for a given series.
The Type 2 designation reflects a significant design revision introduced mid-year in 2021, making this coin a distinct subcategory within the broader American Silver Eagle series. We carry this coin as a graded collectible that appeals equally to numismatists and buyers who want a certified, first-strike-quality silver coin.
The American Silver Eagle program launched in 1986 under the Liberty Coin Act, establishing it as the official silver bullion coin of the United States. Produced at United States Mint facilities, the series has maintained .999 fine silver content and one troy ounce weight since inception, which has given it consistent recognition across both retail and wholesale silver markets for nearly four decades.
The 2021 production year stands out in the series history because the Mint introduced a new reverse design for the first time since the coin's debut. The original reverse, designed by John Mercanti, was retired after 35 years. The Type 2 reverse made its debut in the second half of 2021, making coins bearing this design immediately distinguishable from their Type 1 counterparts produced earlier that same year. This transitional year created two distinct collector categories within a single calendar year, which is unusual for the series and has generated significant interest in both types.
The United States Mint operates under the authority of the Department of the Treasury and has produced coinage for the nation since 1792. Its bullion programs, including the Silver Eagle, are regarded globally as benchmark products for government-issued silver coinage.
The obverse of the 2021 Type 2 Silver American Eagle retains Adolph A. Weinman's iconic Walking Liberty design, originally created for the half dollar in 1916. The composition depicts Lady Liberty in full stride, draped in an American flag, walking toward a rising sun. The phrase "IN GOD WE TRUST" appears to the right, and "LIBERTY" curves along the upper rim with the date positioned at the lower left. The design is widely regarded as one of the most artistically accomplished in American numismatic history.
The Type 2 reverse, designed by Emily Damstra, is a substantial departure from the original Mercanti design that served the series for 35 years. The new reverse features a bald eagle in dynamic motion, wings spread as it comes in for a landing, clutching an oak branch. A bold heraldic shield occupies the upper left of the composition. The inscription "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" arcs across the top, with "1 OZ. FINE SILVER" and the face value appearing along the lower field. The design presents a more dimensional and naturalistic portrayal of the eagle compared to its predecessor.
An NGC MS70 example carries all of this detail in flawless form, fully encapsulated in the NGC sonically sealed holder. The coin's surfaces retain full mint luster with no contact marks, hairlines, or interruptions of any kind. The holder displays relevant certification data including grade, coin description, and a unique certification number that can be verified through NGC's online registry.
NGC certification is among the most rigorous third-party authentication and grading standards in the numismatic world. Each coin submitted to NGC is examined by multiple professional graders who evaluate it for authenticity, metal composition, and surface quality. An MS70 designation is not assigned liberally; it represents an absolute standard where no post-production flaws are detected under magnification. The NGC encapsulation itself is a tamper-evident security measure that preserves the coin's condition from the point of grading forward.
We are an authorized NGC dealer, which means we carry certified NGC products with the backing of a direct relationship with the grading service. This relationship ensures that the graded coins we offer meet the authentication standards NGC enforces industry-wide. Each certification number on the NGC label can be independently verified through NGC's online certification lookup, providing buyers with complete transparency on the grade and authenticity of the specific coin they are purchasing.
MS70 is the apex of the Sheldon numerical grading scale. A coin graded MS70 by NGC exhibits perfect strike sharpness, full original mint luster, and zero post-production contact marks or blemishes of any kind as evaluated under ten-times magnification. In practical terms, this coin arrived in perfect condition from the mint and has been certified to confirm that standard. For a coin that experienced a significant design transition mid-year, having third-party confirmation of this condition level carries real relevance for collectors and registry participants alike.
Because this is a graded product, it ships in its original NGC sonically sealed plastic slab. The holder protects the coin against future handling damage and preserves the certified condition indefinitely when stored appropriately. No additional protective flip or tube packaging is required or included; the NGC slab functions as the coin's permanent housing. The label within the holder displays all relevant certification data and cannot be removed or altered without visibly compromising the slab's integrity.
The price of any Silver American Eagle is anchored to the current spot price of silver, with a premium added to account for production costs, distribution, and the coin's recognized status as a sovereign-issued product. For the 2021 Type 2 in MS70, the grading premium adds a meaningful additional layer above standard bullion pricing. That premium reflects the cost of NGC's certification process, the scarcity of perfect-grade examples, and the numismatic demand for coins tied to a historically significant design year.
Premiums for graded Silver Eagles can shift materially based on changes in collector demand, registry competition, and the broader availability of MS70 examples in the secondary market. Our pricing reflects current market conditions and is structured to give buyers a transparent view of what they are actually paying above spot, which is central to how we approach every product in our catalog.
The American Silver Eagle is one of the most widely traded silver coins in the world, and NGC-graded examples maintain a recognized resale market through dealers, auction houses, and private collectors. The MS70 grade designation adds a numismatic dimension to the coin's liquidity profile that goes beyond standard bullion, meaning the potential buyer pool includes both silver stackers and certified coin collectors. This broader audience can work in a seller's favor in the right market environment.
We operate within a two-way market structure where customers can both purchase and sell silver products through our platform. Understanding resale value and the bid/ask spread before committing to a purchase is a core part of how we think about liquidity. For a graded coin like this one, we encourage buyers to consider not just the acquisition premium but also the market dynamics that determine what comparable MS70 examples are trading for at the time of any future sale.
The 2021 Type 2 represents a defined moment in American Silver Eagle history. The mid-year design change means this is one of only two years in the series where two distinct coin types were produced, and collectors who seek to document that transition need both. For those focused exclusively on the new reverse design, the Type 2 is the only version that carries Damstra's updated eagle composition, making it an essential piece for series collectors building complete date and type sets.
The MS70 certification elevates this from a standard bullion purchase to a collectible with documented condition. For buyers who want the underlying silver content of an American Eagle paired with a permanent, verifiable record that the coin is flawless, this grade accomplishes exactly that. The NGC slab also eliminates handling risk going forward, preserving condition from the date of grading indefinitely.
We have built our business around transparency, and that applies equally to graded coins as it does to standard bullion. Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions, and we display the bid/ask spread on each product page so buyers can evaluate the true cost of ownership before committing. We hold an A rating with the Better Business Bureau and maintain active memberships in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association.
As an authorized dealer for both NGC and PCGS, we carry certified products with the full backing of those relationships and the authentication standards they enforce. Our platform supports both buying and selling within the same ecosystem, which means customers can approach purchases with a clear understanding of what the resale process looks like from day one. Responsive customer service and reliable fulfillment round out an experience that is designed to put long-term trust ahead of short-term transactions.
