The 2021 Silver Eagle marks the 35th Anniversary of the American Silver Eagles program and is the final year to feature the original reverse design by John Mercanti. Additionally, it is an "emergency issue silver eagle," produced by the San Francisco Mint during the pandemic instead of the West Point Mint. This combination of historical milestones and unique production circumstances makes it a significant collectible for both historical and numismatic reasons.
