A Historic Transition, A Unique Flaw

Elevate your collection with a coin that captures the most important moment in modern Silver Eagle history: the 2021 Type 2 "Obverse Struck-Thru" Silver Eagle, signed by its reverse sculptor, Michael Gaudioso. The year 2021 marked the monumental transition to a new reverse design, and this coin is a singular artifact from that pivotal time. It begins as a historic first-year-of-issue Type 2 coin from the Early Releases population. It was then permanently altered by a major mint error. Finally, it was personally autographed by the very artist who brought the new eagle design to life. This is an unrepeatable combination of history, artistry, and chance, preserved in a superb MS69 grade.

Exquisite Design

This coin features the new generation of American Silver Eagle designs, but with a dramatic flaw and a legendary signature that elevate it to an entirely new level.

Obverse: The obverse showcases Adolph A. Weinman’s timeless "Walking Liberty" design, refreshed in 2021 with restored original details. On this specific coin, this iconic image is permanently and uniquely altered by the "Struck-Thru" error, providing a fascinating and visible flaw on the celebrated design.

Reverse: The reverse features the dynamic "Eagle Landing" design by Emily Damstra, marking its debut in 2021. This is the centerpiece of the coin's incredible story. The holder containing this historic first-year design is autographed by its sculptor, Michael Gaudioso, creating an unbroken link between the artist and his inaugural work for the series.

Why Collect This Coin?

The case for this coin’s elite status is undeniable. It achieves a "perfect storm" of collector appeal: a First-Year-of-Issue Design, a Major Error, a Designer's Signature, and an Elite Pedigree. The Type 2 design marks a historic turning point. The "Struck-Thru" error makes it a unique specimen. The Michael Gaudioso signature provides a direct, personal link to the coin's creation. The Early Releases designation confirms its early-strike status. Finding all these attributes on one coin is extraordinary.

Detailed Overview

Introduction to the Coin 2021 was the most significant year for the American Silver Eagle since its 1986 debut. The introduction of the Type 2 reverse created a frenzy among collectors. This coin is not just a part of that history; it is a unique chapter. It is an early strike of the new design, born with a flaw, and certified with the signature of the artist who helped usher in the new era.

Artistic and Design Elements

The "Walking Liberty" obverse was carefully restored to more closely match Weinman's original vision. The new "Eagle Landing" reverse brought a fresh, naturalistic dynamism to the series. The signature of its sculptor, Michael Gaudioso, makes this a presentation piece that directly honors the artistry involved in this historic transition. The error on the obverse adds a fascinating, chaotic element to the intended perfection of this landmark coin.
