John Mercanti was the 12th Chief Engraver of the United States Mint and designed the American Silver Eagle Reverse. The reverse design is John Mercanti’s rendition of the Heraldic Eagle with a shield grasping an olive branch with one talon and an arrow in the other. Above the eagle are thirteen stars that represent the original thirteen colonies. The eagle holds a banner with the motto’E PLURIBUS UNUM’ in its beak. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA’ and’1 OZ FINE SILVER ONE DOLLAR’ are inscribed on this side along with John Mercanti’s initials. Collectors around the world have been eagerly anticipating the debut of a brand-new reverse design for the American Silver Eagle series. Celebrating its 35th anniversary in 2021, the series has featured the iconic heraldic eagle reverse design created by John Mercanti, the 12th former Chief Engraver of the United States Mint since it was first issued in1986. The new reverse design was created by Emily Damstra, but who is she and why was her design chosen? The new Silver Eagle reverse design is the work of Artistic Infusion Program (AIP) artist Emily Damstra and was sculpted by Mint Metallic Artist Michael Gaudioso. It displays a full image of a Bald Eagle coming in for a landing with an oak branch held in its talons as if to add to its nest. As the second design for 2021, these Silver Eagles coins have been given a Type 2 pedigree to differentiate them from the Type 1 coins that bear the original Mercanti Heraldic Eagle reverse design. It also represents a monumental year for the Silver Eagle Series with both a first AND a last in the same year of the Mint’s most popular coin! Moy was sworn in as the 38th Director of the United States Mint. Moy led the US Mint at a time when it launched many exciting new coins for collectors. His term started just as the Mint was releasing the hugely popular 20th Anniversary Silver and Gold Eagles. Moy also oversaw the launch of the Presidential Dollar program in 2007 and the America the Beautiful Quarters program in 1999 as well as completion of the monumental 50 State Quarters program. The images are a true representation of the beauty of the coin that you will receive. Once in your hand, you’ll be able to truly cherish their artistic beauty.

American Eagle coins are already quite valuable as they are but when they come with the signature of the person who created the design or did the engraving, its value shoots up dramatically. After all, for avid coin collectors, what could be a greater honor than to have the autograph of some of the highly distinguished individuals in the world of numismatics included in their treasured collection? Here at Best Collectible Coins, we are very proud to offer limited edition coins that bear the signatures of coin greats such as John Mercanti, Emily Damstra, Michael Gaudioso and Edmund Moy, among many others. Among all the American coin engravers in history, there is no doubt that John Mercanti is the most famous. It, therefore, comes as no surprise that his signature is the one that is most in demand in the American Eagle coin program. With Mercanti’s signature on the label, a coin’s value would be magnified tremendously. Mercanti’s greatest contribution to the coin world is his design of the Heraldic Eagle that adorned the reverse side of the American Silver Eagle coins from 1986 to 2021. The design featured an eagle with widespread wings clutching an olive branch and arrows in its talons. This design was chosen by the Commission of the Fine Arts as the winner of a contest to determine the new reverse design of the American Eagle, which was then yet to be released. After 35 years of adorning the reverse of the American Eagle coins, it was time for Mercanti’s epic design to retire, and what better to replace it than the striking Landing Eagle created by professional coin designer Emily Damstra. In contrast to the still pose of its predecessor, Damstra’s eagle is in mid-flight and about to land, wings outstretched, talons firmly grasping an oak branch. Damstra has created numerous coin designs for the US Mint and the Royal Canadian Mint. As a new name in the American Eagle coin program, Damstra’s signature on the first release of the new reverse is very much in demand among collectors around the world. As one of the vastly talented engravers and sculptors at the US Mint for the past 10 years, it is only fitting that Michael Gaudioso finally gets his well-deserved global recognition by doing the engraving for the new reverse of the American Eagles. Among Gaudioso’s latest achievements in the coin world is the engraving of the commemorative coin for the 2020 Basketball Hall of Fame, as well as the commemorative coin for the 2016 American Legion. Edmund Moy was appointed by Pres. Bush as US Mint Director in 2006. Under his management, the US Mint had produced quite a number of distinctive and sensational coins that strongly attracted the interest of collectors and investors. The Numismatic Guaranty Corporation thought it a good idea to have Moy grace the labels of some of these coins with his signature. The idea proved a success and the signature considerably raised the value of the coins. Without a doubt, there are definitely some of the biggest names in the contemporary coin world and having some special coins that are hand signed by them would certainly be a great honor. The sheer beauty of the American Eagle coins is in itself a perfectly valid reason to collect them but as mentioned, the added bonus of a signature from either the designer or the engraver, or even both, would be a very special treat indeed. With these hand-signatures, an otherwise typical American Eagle coin will instantly become more exclusive, more expensive, and more enticing to the eye of fellow collectors. You will be pleased to know that here at Best Collectible Coins, we have all the hand-signed coins mentioned above, as well as the signatures of many more artists and engravers of the famous American Eagle coins.
