Description: Visit Eye Candy Coins eBay store to view more collectible coins Pedigree: last year of issue for the 2020 design of the American Silver Eagle! Collectors on Edge for Coins in 2021So far, collector reaction to the announcement of a Silver Eagle redesign has been mixed, largely because the new design has yet to be seen. As with any change, there are those who are already mourning the loss of the famous image. Others, however, think that the current design has run its course and are looking forward to something new. Perhaps the most common reaction is a wait and see approach, which is common among those who are open to something new but are reserving judgment until they see what that is.The new 2021, coin design sets up some new dynamics among collectors. For one, it sets up two types of Silver Eagles. Coins dated from 1986-2020 will constitute the Heraldic Eagle Reverse Set. This gives collectors the chance to close the book on a complete set of Silver Eagles if they choose to do so. Those who are new to collecting have the opportunity to start anew with the series without feeling a need to ‘catch up’ by purchasing older editions. Most collectors likely have some Silver Eagles already and will continue buying after the design changes. Some speculate that the redesign could increase demand in 2020 and increase demand for issues with the original design, but only time will tell if that is true.__________________________________________________________________________________________ Pedigree: Considered as a "Key Date" coin.

Served in U.S. Army 1963-1966. Attended the Corcoran School of Art in 1969, Northern Virginia Community College 1971-72 and Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1973. Employed as manager of the graphics group for the U.S. Mint. He won the competition to design the 1986 Vietnam Veterans National Medal. A sketch by Peed modified by Mercanti was used as the design for the $10 Olympic gold eagle of 1984. Peed designed the reverse of the 1992 Olympic $5 gold half eagle. New Commemorative Gold Coins In connection with the Los Angeles Olympic Games (see historical and legislative commentary under 1983 Olympic silver dollars), gold coins bearing a legal face value of $10 were issued at four mints using the same alloy and specifications as employed for United States $10 issues circa 1838-1933, the first commemorative gold coins to be struck since the 1926 Sesquicentennial $2.50 gold pieces. The obverse design was modeled at the Philadelphia Mint by staff engraver John Mercanti after a sketch by James M. (Jim) Peed of the Bureau of the Mint's Washington office. Depicted were male and female runners ("Dick and Jane," according to the facetious remarks of some observers including Rep. Frank Annunzio (Comment by Cornelius Vermeule in a letter to the author, March 25, 1991: "Jack and Jill indeed, not Dick and Jane as, was suggested. There's no Dalmatian 'Spot' running after them.")) holding a torch. Both JM (John Mercanti) and JP (James Peed) initials appear at the lower left, an unusual double signature, which resulted from a conversation which Mint Director Donna Pope had with the present writer. At the time I was president of the American Numismatic Association (for the 1983-1985 term), and Mrs. Pope maintained an excellent relationship and continuing dialogue not only with the ANA but with numismatic publications and the entire collecting fraternity. She inquired whether it was accepted practice to include the initials of the designer as well as the engraver, and I cited several examples from history, after which she decided to employ it on the 1984 Olympic gold coins. (Examples among earlier commemoratives include the JE-LGF combined monogram for lames Earle Fraser and Laura Gardin Fraser on the reverse of the Oregon Trail half dollar, the combined monogram for William Marks Simpson and Marjorie Emory Simpson on the reverse of the 1936 Norfolk half dollar, and EJ and MP for Elizabeth Jones and Matthew Peloso on the reverse of the 1982 Washington half dollar (the latter being unauthorized by the Mint director and unknown to her until after coins were struck). Elsewhere in American-related Coinage the "1783"-dated Washington pieces with military bust were signed T.W.I. and E.S. for the engraver and for the creator of the portrait.) Mrs. Pope feared criticism if she were to defy convention by using a double set of initials, for certain individuals in the government stood ready to find fault with just about anything the Mint tried to do. The reverse of the 1984 $10 gold coin by John Mercanti illustrated a heraldic eagle adapted from the Great Seal of the United States, a motif similar to that used on numerous regular issue coins from the 1790s onward (most recently on the Kennedy half dollar from 1964 to date).
