2021 W Silver Eagle Type 1 & Type 2 Advance Release NGC PF70 – Moy Signatures
The issuance of the New Type 2 Silver Eagle is the biggest event in coin collecting since 1985 when the original Silver Eagle was signed into law by President Reagan.
This unique two-piece collection features a Type 1 coin with the original heraldic eagle reverse design by John Mercanti, and a Type 2 coin with the new design by Emily S. Damstra, depicting an eagle carrying an oak branch as it prepares to land in a nest. These are Signature Series coins, both coins have been signed by Edmund C. Moy, 38th Director of the United States Mint who oversaw the American Silver Eagle program.
