2021 American Eagle Two-Coin Silver Reverse Proof Set

The 2021 American Eagle Two-Coin Reverse Proof Set marks a historic transition in the Silver Eagle series. Celebrating the 35th anniversary of the program, this set features both the original Type 1 and the newly introduced Type 2 reverse designs—each presented in a stunning reverse proof finish. Struck at two different mints and housed side by side in a special anniversary display case, this set is the only one of its kind to capture the changing of the guard within a single release.

Historical Insight:

This set is the only official U.S. Mint release to showcase both the outgoing and incoming reverse designs in matching reverse proof finishes. Issued during the 35th anniversary of the American Silver Eagle program, it captures a once-in-a-generation design change in one complete, limited-edition offering. For collectors who value pivotal moments in modern numismatics, the 2021 Two-Coin Reverse Proof Set is both a tribute to the past and a celebration of the future.
