2021 American Silver Eagle T1 & T2 Set NGC MS70 MDS David J. Ryder Signatures
The year 2021 marks the most significant change to the American Silver Eagle series in thirty-five years, John Mercanti’s iconic heraldic eagle design that’s famous around the world has been replaced with a stunning new eagle landing design by Emily S. Damstra. Because of the design change, these coins have been dubbed Type 1 and Type 2 Silver Eagles. This set features a final Type 1 coin and the first Type 2 coin. First and lasts in any coin series are always considered to be key dates. What’s unusual about this set of first and last coins is that both coins are dated 2021. That’s because of the global pandemic, it was never intended that two designs would be released in the same year with the same date! Both pieces are certified in flawless MS70 condition by NGC and individually hand-signed by David J. Ryder, 39th Director of the U.S. Mint. He is the person directly responsible for there being a Type 1 and Type 2 Silver Eagle, so positively, his signature adds exclusivity and value to these sets. David J. Ryder served as both 34th and 39th Director of the U.S. Mint and was named one of Coin World’s Most Influential People (1960-2020). Under his leadership, the mint issued many exciting modern coins including the most popular U.S. Mint releases of recent memory, the 75th Anniversary of World War II, Gold Eagle, Type 2 Silver Eagle, and Gold Eagle, as well as the 100th Anniversary Morgan and Peace Dollars.
MINT DIRECTORS SERIES COINS MDS – NGC SIGNATURE CERTIFIED BLACK CORE LABELS
Edmund C. Moy, the 38th Director of the U.S. Mint, and David J Ryder, 39th Director of the U.S. Mint are individually autographing labels for Numismatic Guaranty Corporation® (NGC®), under an exclusive arrangement. Moy served from 2006 to 2011, and Ryder served as both 34th and 39th 1992 to 1993 and returned to the position from 2018-2021. Both men were named in Coin World’s Most Influential People (1960-2020). Moy and Ryder brought many exciting modern coins to the marketplace, greatly enhancing the tradition of U.S. coin collecting with their leadership.
Condition
Coins are graded on the Sheldon numeric grading scale of 1 to 70. To achieve the top grade 70, a coin must have no post-production imperfections at 5x magnification.

The sharp contrast between the flawless shiny surfaces of these one-ounce pure silver coins and the black core holders, adds significantly to the presentation and eye appeal of this historic coin set.
