The year 2021 marks the most significant change to the American Silver Eagle series to ever occur, as John Mercanti's legendary heraldic eagle design will be replaced after thirty-five years of production. As the final year of issue for John Mercanti's heraldic eagle design, the 2021 Type 1 ASE issue will always be among the most sought-after in the entire series.  In a stunning display of talent, the reverse of the new first-year-of-issue 2021 Type 2 ASE is designed by Emily Damstra and engraved by Michael Gaudioso.  This set of two includes  one 2021 Type  1 American Silver Eagle and  one 2021 Type  2 American Silver Eagle, both graded in perfect Mint State 70 condition with First Releases designation. In addition,  these coins come in the RCTV exclusive  holders  hand-signed by John Mercanti and Michael Gaudioso. To increase your numismatic knowledge,  included with this set is  a copy of ''Miles Standish Presents: American Silver Eagles.''  As the perfect companion to your coin, you will also receive hand-signed collector cards of designer John Mercanti and engraver Michael Gaudioso!
