COLLECTS THE FOLLOWING IS A PAID PRESENTATION FURNISHED BY RARE COLLECTIBLES TV LLC. ANNOUNCER: OUR COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED ON LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. REPRESENTING THIS IDEALISM IS OUR AMERICAN EAGLE. THE BALD EAGLE WAS CHOSEN IN 1782 TO REPRESENT THE UNITED STATES BECAUSE OF ITS LONG LIFE, MAJESTIC LOOKS, AND GREAT STRENGTH. THE EAGLE HAS SINCE BECOME PART OF OUR COUNTRY'S NATIONAL EMBLEM. IN 1986, THE U.S. MINT HAD A LARGE SURPLUS OF SILVER AND PRESIDENT REAGAN SIGNED A BILL TO PRODUCE A NEW SILVER DOLLAR. IT WAS CALLED THE AMERICAN SILVER EAGLE. THE OBVERSE DESIGN FOR THE AMERICAN SILVER EAGLE WAS ADAPTED FROM ONE OF THE MOST BELOVED U.S. COIN DESIGNS. THE WALKING LIBERTY HALF DOLLAR. DESIGNED BY ADOLPH WEINMAN AND MINTED FROM 1960 TO 1947. THE OBVERSE OF THE COIN PROTRAY'S LADY LIBERTY STRIDING TOWARDS THE SUN. THIS REPRESENTS A NEW DAY, HOPE AND PROSPERITY. THE LIBERTY IS DRAPED IN THE AMERICAN FLAG, FLOWING FROM BEHIND HER AND WRAPPING AROUND TO HER FEET. HER RIGHT ARM IS OUTSTRETCHED AS AN OPEN, HELPING HAND. IN HER LEFT HAND SHE HOLDS BRANCHES OF MORAL AND OH, SYMBOLIC OF CIVIL AND MILITARY GLORY. HE OFFERS FEATURES THE WORD LIBERTY, THAT STRETCHES HALFWAY AROUND THE TOP OF THE COIN. IT WAS 39 YEARS LATER THAT WEINMAN'S DESIGN RETURNED ON THE OBVERSE OF THE AMERICAN SILVER EAGLE. U.S. MINT CHIEF ENGRAVER GENRE CANTY ADOPTED THE LEGENDARY DESIGN, BUT ALSO STRENGTHENED MANY OF THE COINS DETAILS. HAVING BETTER TECHNOLOGY IN THE 1980'S, HE WAS ABLE TO PUT MORE DEFINITION INTO LABOR LIBERTY, WHICH RESULTED IN MORE BOLD AND DRAMATIC STRIKES THAN THE ORIGINAL WALKING LIBERTY COIN. THE REVERSE OF THE AMERICAN SILVER EAGLE WAS ALSO DESIGNED BY MERCK CANTY AND PORTRAYED THE EGO BEHIND THE SHIELD. THE EAGLE IS CLUTCHING AN OLIVE BRANCH AND ONE IN ARROWS AND THE OTHER, WHICH RESEMBLES THE GREAT SEAL OF THE UNITED STATES. ABOVE THE EAGLE ARE 13 STARS REPRESENTING THE 13 ORIGINAL COLONIES. IN THE EAGLE HOLDS A BANNER WITH THE SAYING, OUT OF MANY, ONE. > > WHEN I WAS WORKING ON THE DESIGN FOR THE EAGLE, I NEVER IN MY WILDEST IMAGINATION KNEW THAT IT WOULD BE SUCH A LONG LENGTH. I JUST WANTED SOMETHING SOPHISTICATED. I KNEW THAT THE REVERSE WAS ON THE OBVERSE. I'VE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH ON WEINMAN, I HAVE A LOT OF RESPECT FOR HIM. HAVING ALL OF THESE YEARS PARTNERING WITH HIM ON THAT COIN HAS BEEN VERY SPECIAL TO ME. ANNOUNCER: THE AMERICAN SILVER EAGLE IS THE LARGEST U.S. SILVER DOLLAR. IT IS STRUCK IN ONE OUNCE SIZE AND IS GUARANTEED TO BE 99.9% SILVER. ON JULY 9, 1985, PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN SIGNED THE LIBERTY COIN ACT, JUST ONE YEAR AND FOUR MONTHS LATER, ON OCTOBER 29, 1986, THE FIRST AMERICAN SILVER EAGLE WAS STRUCK. SINCE 1986, THIS COIN HAS DISPLAYED 12 CHIEF ENGRAVER OF THE U.S. MINT. THE HERALDIC EAGLE DESIGN. BUT IN 2021 ICONIC DESIGN WILL BE RETIRED, NEVER TO BE STRUCK ONTO AN AMERICAN SILVER EAGLE AGAIN. THIS TRULY MARKS THE END OF AN ERA.

JAMES: I'M INVITING YOU INTO WHAT IS THE MOST ANTICIPATED MINT RELEASE IN DECADES. AFTER 35 YEARS, THE UNITED STATES MINT IS RETIRING GENRE CONTE'S HERALDIC EAGLE REVERSE ON THE AMERICAN SILVER EAGLE DOLLAR. AFTER 35 YEARS. NOW, THIS NEWS HAS BEEN GREETED IN AN AMAZING WAY. BECAUSE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE HAVE THE FINAL ISSUE, THE FINAL ISSUE OF THIS GREAT SILVER DOLLAR. THE 2021 TYPE ONE AMERICAN SILVER EAGLE DOLLAR, AND A PERFECT PROOF 70, ULTRA CAMEO GRADE. WITH OUR EXCLUSIVE LABEL. AND I WANT TO TELL YOU FOLKS OUT THERE, THIS COIN, AS WE SPEAK, IS SETTING RECORDS. IN FACT, IT'S THAT EVERY RECORD YOU COULD POSSIBLY SET FOR A SELLOUT OF A COIN. WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING OUT RIGHT THERE, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IS COMPLETELY'S -- COMPLETELY SOLD OUT RIGHT NOW. THEY ARE GONE BECAUSE WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT WAS THE QUICKEST SELLOUT OF AN AMERICAN SILVER DOLLAR, REALLY ON ANY COIN I HAVE EVER SEEN. IN LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES, OVER 325,000 OF THESE COINS WERE SOLD , AND THEY ARE ALL GONE. IF YOU DON'T ORDER ONE NOW, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET ONE. THIS IS THE LAST, THE LAST SILVER EAGLE OF ITS KIND. A NEW DESIGN ON THE REVERSE, AND A REFRESHED OBVERSE WILL BE REPLACING THIS 35 YEAR LONG TRADITION OF ISSUING THE LARGEST SILVER DOLLAR THE U.S. HAS EVER ISSUED. LARGER THAN THE MORGAN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT WHY THESE COINS ARE SO POPULAR. SINCE 1986, THIS COIN HAS BEEN ISSUED. COLLECTORS HAVE TAKEN TO THIS COIN TO THE POINT WHERE IT HAS BECOME THE MOST POPULAR SILVER DOLLAR IN THE COUNTRY. BUT WHEN YOU ADD UP ALL OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF COINS IT GIVES YOU AN INDICATION WHY. THE LAST COIN OF ITS KIND, THE LAST HERALDIC EAGLE REVERSE, THE LAST DESIGN OF JOHN M ERCANTI'S THE LAST CHIEF ENGRAVER, IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. JOHN MERCANTI STARTED AT THE U.S. MINT IN 1974. JOHN MERCANTI WAS A MASTER DIE ENGRAVER, A MASTER SCULPTOR. HERE YOU SEE AN ACTUAL IMAGE OF JOHN CREATING THE VERY FIRST REVERSE FOR THE SILVER EAGLE DOLLAR. AND HE DID THIS AND WHAT IS KNOWN AS A PLASTER. SO BY HAND HE CREATED THAT HERALDIC EAGLE REVERSE. AND FROM THAT, FROM THAT PLASTER, THE MAIN DIET IS CREATED. IT'S A LONG AND LABORIOUS PROCESS THAT HAD TO INVOLVE THE ARTISTS TOUCH. AND YOU CAN SEE, AS HE CREATED THIS REVERSE IN A MUCH LARGER VERSION TO BEING REDUCED DOWN TO THE DOLLAR SIZE COIN, THESE ARE ACTUAL IMAGES OF HIM PERFORMING THE WORK. SPECTACULAR. THAT RIGHT THERE IS THE LASTING TRIBUTE TO THE GREAT WORK OF JOHN MERCANTI. WHO WAS A PROLIFIC COIN DESIGNER AND SCULPTOR AT THE U.S. MINT. FROM 1974 ALL THE WAY TO 2010. HE BECAME THE CHIEF ENGRAVER, JUST THE 12TH CHIEF ENGRAVER IN 2006 AND HE WAS HIRED IN 2010. AND NOW HIS REVERSE IS RETIRING AS WELL. AND IT WILL BE REPLACED. SO FOR ALL YOU COLLECTORS OUT THERE, LET ME SAY A MAGIC WORD TO YOU. A TRANSITIONAL COIN IS WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT. IN MIDYEAR THE U.S. SWITCHING FROM THE ORIGINAL TYPE ONE HER ALL THE EAGLE REVERSE. AND BY THE WAY, ENOUGH CREDIT IS NOT GIVEN TO JOHN MERCANTI FOR ALSO ENHANCING THE OFFERS. THE ORIGINAL ADOLPH WEINMAN DESIGN BROUGHT TO LIFE THE COIN TWICE THE SIZE ON THE HALF-DOLLAR IT ORIGINALLY APPEARED ON SO THAT YOU COULD SEE DETAIL THAT JOHN HIMSELF ENGRAVED ON THOSE DIES TO MAKE THAT DESIGN OF THE WALKING LIBERTY COME TO LIFE THAT HAD NEVER BEEN BEFORE LIKE THIS. THAT WAS ALL JOHN MERCANTI. TRANSITIONAL YEAR. THIS YEAR WILL BE A TRANSITIONAL YEAR FOR THE SILVER EAGLE DOLLAR AND YOU ARE GETTING AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUY THE LAST ONE BEFORE THEY TRANSITION. THE TYPE TO. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN AS MUCH INTEREST IN A TRANSITIONAL COIN AS THERE IS IN THIS ONE. THERE IS A FINAL MINTED FIGURE ON THIS COIN, AND THEY WERE JUST RELEASED, I'M TALKING ABOUT MOMENTS AGO, INCREDIBLY OVER 325,000 OF THESE COINS WERE SCOOPED UP IN LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES. WE HAVE COINS AND PERFECT PROOF 70 WITH A FINAL TRIBUTE LABEL TO JOHN MERCANTI. AUTOGRAPHED BY JOHN MERCANTI, WITH OUR EXCLUSIVE REAGAN/MERCAN TI ARTWORK. ITS AN EXCLUSIVE, AND THAT MEANS A WHOLE LOT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. I WANT EVERYBODY TO KNOW THIS IS A PRESALE. IT WILL BE 30 DAYS THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE YOUR COINS. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THIS COIN IS SO POPULAR THAT OVER 1800 OF THESE COINS WENT OUT THE DOOR PURSE I CAN. PER SECOND, 327,000 COINS GONE LIKE THAT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. WHAT OF THAT 327 THOUSAND COINS, EVERY ONE OF THE ONES THAT WE HAVE ARE ALL PERFECT GRADE PROOF 70. ALL OVER CAMEO. THE HIGHEST GRADE YOU CAN GET. AND COIN GRADING WE USE SOMETHING CALLED THE SHELDON GRADING SCALE. AND BASICALLY WHAT IT IS IS IT GOES FROM ONE ALL THE WAY TO 70. ONE BEING THE WORST QUALITY YOU CAN GET. THE HIGHEST PINNACLE THAT YOU CAN SEE IS THE NUMBER 70. IN THIS CASE, A PROOF A COIN WITH A MIRRORED BACKGROUND, A COIN WITH A SATIN OR FROSTY IMAGE OF LIBERTY, WHAT WE CALL THE DEVICE. ANY PART OF THIS SILVER DOLLAR WITH RAISED LETTERING OR RAISED DESIGN IS KNOWN AS THE DEVICE OF THE COIN. IN ANY PART OF THE COIN THAT IS FREE OF ANY LETTERING, OR ANY DESIGN IS KNOWN AS THE FIELD. SO AS YOU LOOK AT THIS COIN HIGHER MINTED THAN THE COINS THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW. SO LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, RIGHT NOW, FOR THE COIN THAT HAS BEEN ANTICIPATED -- AND YOU KNOW, IT'S 35 YEARS IN THE MAKING FOR THIS COIN TO COME TO MARKET. IT'S THE LAST OF ITS KIND. THE REVERSE IS BEING RETIRED, SO NO MORE OF JOHN MERCANTI'S TRIBUTE TO THE ORIGINAL HERALDIC EAGLE REVERSE OF THESE EARLY AMERICAN SILVER DOLLARS THAT HE DESIGNED, THAT HE CRAFTED FOR THIS GREAT SILVER DOLLAR. AND HE DID THIS BACK IN 1986, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. THE LAST ONE RIGHT NOW. GET READY BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO KNOW, NOW THIS IS SERIOUS, WE HAVE A MAXIMUM QUANTITY ON THIS OF 25 COINS PER HOUSEHOLD, IF YOU WILL. HERE IS HOW WE ARE DOING IT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. A SINGLE COIN, A SINGLE COIN, $379. $379. IN A PERFECT PROOF 70 GRADE WITH AN AUTOGRAPH LABELED BY JOHN MERCANTI, THE DESIGNER OF THE REVERSE, WITH A SPECIAL RARE COLLECTIBLES TV SPECIAL LABEL, WHICH WE HAVE EXCLUSIVELY -- AND ONCE AGAIN I WANT TO SHOW YOU, FOLKS, WHY THIS IS SO EXCITING, WE ARE AT 379 FOR A SINGLE COIN. AND I HOPE YOU ARE ON THE LINE LOOKING TO GET QUANTITY, BECAUSE THERE IS QUANTITY PRICING. WANT TO SHOW YOU WHERE THE WORLD IS AT RIGHT NOW. WE ARE AT $379 FOR A SINGLE COIN. THERE IS A GREAT PRICE AT $490. THAT IS A GREAT PRICE. BUT NOT AS GOOD AS RARE COLLECTIBLES. 379 FOR A SINGLE COIN. HERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUY FIVE COINS FOR 375 EACH. $1875, AND WE WILL SPLIT THAT INTO TWO EQUAL PAYMENTS OF $937.50. YOU CAN GET 10, 10 COINS. 10 COINS ARE GOING TO BE $369 EACH. $3690. AGAIN, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPLIT THAT $3690 INTO TWO EQUAL PAYMENTS OF $1845. THERE IS A LIMIT TO 25 COINS THAT YOU CAN ORDER. I MUST TELL YOU, THIS IS A MONUMENTAL EVENT IN THE HISTORY OF THESE COINS. NUMBER ONE, IT'S THE LAST ONE. 35 YEARS THIS SERIES HAS BEEN GOING STRONG, AND YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE FINAL EXAMPLE OF THE REVERSE. AND FOREVER MORE, FROM 1986 TO 2021, IT WILL BE CALLED TYPE ONE. MID YEAR OF 20 A TYPE TWO WILL BE ISSUED WITH A NEW REVERSE AND A NEW DESIGNER OF THAT REVERSE. BUT HERE IS AN EXCLUSIVE OPPORTUNITY. AND JUDGING BY THE FACT IN LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES, OVER 325,000 OF THESE COINS DISAPPEARED FROM THE MINT, SOLD OUT, THEY ARE NOT GOING TO LAST. WHY DOES EVERYBODY LIKE THIS COIN SO MUCH? THIS DESIGN WAS BROUGHT BACK UNDER THE LIBERTY COIN ACT SIGNED BY RONALD REAGAN IN 1985. THAT WAS THE LAW THAT WAS PASSED THAT ALLOWED THE TREASURY TO BEGIN STRIKING THE SILVER DOLLAR. THIS SERIES HAS BEEN GOING STRONG SINCE 1986. THIS IS THE FINAL ADDITION TO THAT COLLECTION. SO RIGHT OFF THE BAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE THIS COIN, IT'S THE LAST ONE. COLLECTORS ALL OVER THE WORLD HAVE COME TO GET THIS COIN. THIS IS GROUNDBREAKING. A REVERSE THAT WAS DONE BY THE FATHER OF THE REVERSE OF THE AMERICAN SILVER EAGLE, GENRE CONTE. JUST THAT -- JOHN MERCANTI, JUST THE 12TH CHIEF ENGRAVER AT THE U.S. MINT. HE STARTED AT THE U.S. MINT IN 1974. AND JOHN MERCANTI RETIRED IN 2010. THE ORIGINAL JOHN MERCANTI REVERSE, THAT HE CRAFTED IN THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE PROGRAM IN 1986, HAS GRACED THE REVERSE OF THIS DOLLARS SINCE THAT TIME. NO MORE, THIS IS THE FINAL ISSUE. SO NO WONDER THE COIN SOLD OUT IN RECORD TIME. NO WONDER OVER 327 THOUSAND -- 327,000 OF THESE COINS WENT LIKE THAT. AS I WAS SAYING WE HAVE THE HIGHEST ATTAINABLE GRADE IN DESIGNATION FOR THESE COINS. A PERFECT PROOF 70 ULTRA CAMEO. THAT BLACK-AND-WHITE CONTRAST THAT YOU SEE DISPLAYING ON THE COIN IS THE CAMEO. IN THIS CASE, OFER CAMEO. AND IT IS THE HIGHEST DESIGNATION. SO, YOU ARE GETTING THE FINEST QUALITY ATTAINABLE. THERE'LL BE NO HIGHER QUALITY OR HIGHER GRADE. YOU ARE GOING TO WANT TO GET 30 OR 40 OF THESE. THERE IS A LIMIT OF 25. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. IF YOU BUY A SINGLE COIN, IF YOU BUY A DEAL OF FIVE OR A DEAL OF 10, YOU WILL RECEIVE THIS UNBELIEVABLE BOOK. THIS BOOK WAS AUTHORED BY JOHN MERCANTI. MYLES STANDISH CONTRIBUTED AS WELL. IN THIS BOOK HAS AN ENTIRE HISTORY OF THIS GREAT SILVER DOLLAR. IN THIS BOOK WILL TAKE YOU THROUGH THE CREATION, THROUGH THE STRIKING, THROUGH THE DESIGN, THROUGH THE STORY, JUST SOME OF THE GREAT WORK THAT WAS DONE BY JOHN MERCANTI, IT JUST HAS EVERYTHING. AND THIS IS COMPLEMENTARY WITH EVERY SINGLE ORDER THAT IS PLACED. IF YOU BUY A SINGLE COIN, A LOT OF FIVE OR 10, YOU WILL GET THIS GREAT BOOK. FINALLY, THIS COIN COMES WITH AN EXCLUSIVE LABEL. THIS IS A BIG DEAL, FOLKS. BECAUSE OUR CTV IS THE -- RCTV IS THE ONLY COMPANY WITH THIS EXCLUSIVE LABEL AUTOGRAPHED BY JOHN MERCANTI AND FEATURES ARTWORK THAT WAS DERIVED FROM A SCULPTURE OF RONALD REAGAN THAT JOHN MERCANTI DID HIMSELF. SO IT ALL TIES IN. RONALD REAGAN, THE FATHER OF THE AMERICAN EAGLE PROGRAM. JOHN MERCANTI, THE DESIGNER OF THE HERALDIC EAGLE REVERSE.

ANNOUNCER: OUR COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED ON LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. REPRESENTING THIS IDEALISM IS OUR AMERICAN EAGLE. THE BALD EAGLE WAS CHOSEN IN 1782 TO REPRESENT THE UNITED STATES BECAUSE OF ITS LONG LIFE, MAJESTIC LOOKS, AND GREAT STRENGTH. THE EAGLE HAS SINCE BECOME PART OF OUR COUNTRY'S NATIONAL EMBLEM. IN 1986, THE U.S. MINT HAD A LARGE SURPLUS OF SILVER AND PRESIDENT REAGAN SIGNED A BILL TO PRODUCE A NEW SILVER DOLLAR. IT WAS CALLED THE AMERICAN SILVER EAGLE. THE OBVERSE DESIGN FOR THE AMERICAN SILVER EAGLE WAS ADAPTED FROM ONE OF THE MOST BELOVED U.S. COIN DESIGNS. THE WALKING LIBERTY HALF DOLLAR. DESIGNED BY ADOLPH WEINMAN AND MINTED FROM 1916 TO 1947. THE OBVERSE OF THE COIN PROTRAY'S LADY LIBERTY STRIDING TOWARDS THE SUN. THIS REPRESENTS A NEW DAY, HOPE AND PROSPERITY. LIBERTY IS DRAPED IN THE AMERICAN FLAG, FLOWING FROM BEHIND HER AND WRAPPING AROUND TO HER FEET. HER RIGHT ARM IS OUTSTRETCHED AS AN OPEN, HELPING HAND. IN HER LEFT HAND SHE HOLDS BRANCHES OF MORAL AND OAK, SYMBOLIC OF CIVIL AND MILITARY GLORY. THE OBVERSE ALSO FEATURES THE WORD LIBERTY, THAT STRETCHES HALFWAY AROUND THE TOP OF THE COIN. IT WAS 39 YEARS LATER THAT WEINMAN'S DESIGN RETURNED ON THE OBVERSE OF THE AMERICAN SILVER EAGLE. U.S. MINT CHIEF ENGRAVER JOHN MERCANTI ADOPTED THE LEGENDARY DESIGN, BUT ALSO STRENGTHENED MANY OF THE COINS DETAILS. HAVING BETTER TECHNOLOGY IN THE 1980'S, HE WAS ABLE TO PUT MORE DEFINITION INTO LADY LIBERTY, WHICH RESULTED IN MORE BOLD AND DRAMATIC STRIKES THAN THE ORIGINAL WALKING LIBERTY COIN. THE REVERSE OF THE AMERICAN SILVER EAGLE WAS ALSO DESIGNED BY JOHN MURKY ANTI--- JOHN MERCANTI AND PORTRAYED THE EGO BEHIND THE SHIELD. THE EAGLE IS CLUTCHING AN OLIVE BRANCH AND ONE IN ARROWS AND THE OTHER, WHICH RESEMBLES THE GREAT SEAL OF THE UNITED STATES. ABOVE THE EAGLE ARE 13 STARS REPRESENTING THE 13 ORIGINAL COLONIES. AND THE EAGLE HOLDS A BANNER WITH THE SAYING E PLURIBUS UNUM, OUT OF MANY, ONE. JOHN WHEN I WAS WORKING ON THE : DESIGN FOR THE EAGLE, I NEVER IN MY WILDEST IMAGINATION KNEW THAT IT WOULD BE SUCH A LONG LASTING COIN. I JUST WANTED SOMETHING CLASSIC AND SOPHISTICATED FOR THAT TIME. I KNEW THAT WEINMAN'S REVERSE WAS ON THE OBVERSE. I'VE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH ON WEINMAN, I HAVE A LOT OF RESPECT FOR WEINMAN. SO, HAVING ALL OF THESE YEARS PARTNERING WITH HIM ON THAT COIN HAS BEEN VERY SPECIAL TO ME. ANNOUNCER: THE AMERICAN SILVER EAGLE IS THE LARGEST U.S. SILVER DOLLAR. IT IS STRUCK AND ONE TROY OUNCE SIZE AND IS GUARANTEED TO BE 99.9% SILVER. ON JULY 9, 1985, PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN SIGNED THE LIBERTY COIN ACT, JUST ONE YEAR AND FOUR MONTHS LATER, ON OCTOBER 29, 1986, THE FIRST AMERICAN SILVER EAGLE WAS STRUCK. SINCE 1986, THIS COIN HAS DISPLAYED 12 CHIEF ENGRAVER OF THE U.S. MINT. GENRE CANDIES BELOVED -- JOHN MERCANTI'S BELOVED HERALDIC EAGLE DESIGN.

ANNOUNCER: HERE TO TELL YOU MORE ABOUT THE FINAL YEAR OF ISSUE 2021 W TYPE ONE PROOF AMERICAN SILVER EAGLE IS COIN EXPERT JAMES GERSTEL. JAMES: I'M INVITING YOU INTO TO WHAT IS THE MOST ANTICIPATED MINT RELEASE IN DECADES. AFTER 35 YEARS, THE UNITED STATES MINT IS RETIRING GENRE JOHN MERCANTI'S HERALDIC EAGLE REVERSE ON THE AMERICAN SILVER EAGLE DOLLAR. AFTER 35 YEARS. NOW, THIS NEWS HAS BEEN GREETED IN AN AMAZING WAY. BECAUSE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE HAVE THE FINAL ISSUE, THE FINAL ISSUE OF THIS GREAT SILVER DOLLAR. THE 2021 TYPE ONE AMERICAN SILVER EAGLE DOLLAR, AND A -- IN A PERFECT PROOF 70, ULTRA CAMEO GRADE. WITH OUR EXCLUSIVE LABEL. AND I WANT TO TELL YOU FOLKS OUT THERE, THIS COIN, AS WE SPEAK, IS SETTING RECORDS. IN FACT, IT SET EVERY RECORD YOU COULD POSSIBLY SET FOR A SELLOUT OF A COIN. WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING OUT RIGHT THERE, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IS COMPLETELY SOLD OUT RIGHT NOW. THEY ARE GONE BECAUSE WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT WAS THE QUICKEST SELLOUT OF AN AMERICAN SILVER DOLLAR, REALLY OF ANY COIN I HAVE EVER SEEN. IN LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES, OVER 325,000 OF THESE COINS WERE SOLD, AND THEY ARE ALL GONE. IF YOU DON'T ORDER ONE NOW, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET ONE. THIS IS THE LAST, THE LAST SILVER EAGLE OF ITS KIND. A NEW DESIGN ON THE REVERSE, AND A REFRESHED OBVERSE WILL BE REPLACING THIS 35 YEAR LONG TRADITION OF ISSUING THE LARGEST SILVER DOLLAR THE U.S. HAS EVER ISSUED. LARGER THAN THE MORGAN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT WHY THESE COINS ARE SO POPULAR. SINCE 1986, THIS COIN HAS BEEN ISSUED. COLLECTORS HAVE TAKEN TO THIS COIN TO THE POINT WHERE IT HAS BECOME THE MOST POPULAR SILVER DOLLAR IN THE COUNTRY. BUT WHEN YOU ADD UP ALL OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF COINS IT GIVES YOU AN INDICATION WHY. THE LAST COIN OF ITS KIND, THE LAST HERALDIC EAGLE REVERSE, THE LAST DESIGN OF JOHN MERCANTI'S THE 12TH CHIEF ENGRAVER, IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. JOHN MERCANTI STARTED AT THE U.S. MINT IN 1974. JOHN MERCANTI WAS A MASTER DYE ENGRAVER, A MASTER SCULPTOR. IN FACT, HERE YOU SEE AN ACTUAL IMAGE OF JOHN CREATING THE VERY FIRST REVERSE FOR THE SILVER EAGLE DOLLAR. AND HE DID THIS IN WHAT IS KNOWN AS A PLASTER. SO BY HAND HE CREATED THAT HERALDIC EAGLE REVERSE. AND FROM THAT, FROM THAT PLASTER, THE MAIN DYE IS CREATED. IT'S A LONG AND LABORIOUS PROCESS THAT HAD TO INVOLVE THE ARTISTS TOUCH. AND YOU CAN SEE, AS HE CREATED THIS REVERSE IN A MUCH LARGER VERSION TO BE REDUCED DOWN TO THE DOLLAR SIZE COIN, THESE ARE ACTUAL IMAGES OF HIM PERFORMING THE WORK. SPECTACULAR. THAT RIGHT THERE IS THE LASTING TRIBUTE TO THE GREAT WORK OF JOHN MERCANTI. WHO WAS A PROLIFIC COIN DESIGNER AND SCULPTOR AT THE U.S. MINT. FROM 1974 ALL THE WAY TO 2010. HE BECAME THE CHIEF ENGRAVER, JUST THE 12TH CHIEF ENGRAVER IN 2006 AND HE WAS HIRED IN 2010. AND NOW HIS REVERSE IS RETIRING AS WELL. AND IT WILL BE REPLACED. SO FOR ALL YOU COLLECTORS OUT THERE, LET ME SAY A MAGIC WORD TO YOU. A TRANSITIONAL COIN IS WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT. MIDYEAR THE U.S. SWITCHING FROM THE ORIGINAL TYPE ONE HERALDIC EAGLE REVERSE. AND BY THE WAY, ENOUGH CREDIT IS NOT GIVEN TO JOHN MERCANTI FOR ALSO ENHANCING THE OFFERS. -- OBVERSE OF THAT COIN. THE ORIGINAL ADOLPH A WEINMAN DESIGN BROUGHT TO LIFE THE COIN TWICE THE SIZE ON THE HALF-DOLLAR THAT IT ORIGINALLY APPEARED ON SO THAT YOU COULD SEE DETAIL THAT JOHN HIMSELF ENGRAVED ON THOSE DYE'S TO MAKE THAT DESIGN OF THE WALKING LIBERTY COME TO LIFE THAT HAD NEVER BEEN BEFORE LIKE THIS. THAT WAS ALL JOHN MERCANTI. SO, TRANSITIONAL YEAR. THIS YEAR WILL BE A TRANSITIONAL YEAR FOR THE SILVER EAGLE DOLLAR AND YOU ARE GETTING AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUY THE LAST ONE BEFORE THEY TRANSITION. THE TYPE 2. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN AS MUCH INTEREST IN A TRANSITIONAL COIN AS THERE IS IN THIS ONE. THERE IS A FINAL VINTAGE -- MINTAGE FIGURE ON THIS COIN, AND THEY WERE JUST RELEASED, I'M TALKING ABOUT MOMENTS AGO, INCREDIBLY OVER 325,000 OF THESE COINS WERE SCOOPED UP IN LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES. WE HAVE COINS IN PERFECT PROOF 70 WITH A FINAL TRIBUTE LABEL TO JOHN MERCANTI. AUTOGRAPHED BY JOHN MERCANTI, WITH OUR EXCLUSIVE REAGAN/MERCANTI ARTWORK. IT'S AN EXCLUSIVE LABEL TO RARE COLLECTIBLES TV, AND THAT MEANS A WHOLE LOT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. I WANT EVERYBODY TO KNOW THIS IS A PRESALE. IT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT 30 DAYS WHEN YOU WILL RECEIVE YOUR COINS. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THIS COIN IS SO POPULAR THAT OVER 1800 OF THESE COINS WENT OUT THE DOOR PER SECOND IN THE SELLOUT. PER SECOND, 327,000 COINS GONE LIKE THAT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. BUT I WILL TELL YOU, OF THAT 327,000 COINS, EVERY ONE OF THE ONES THAT WE HAVE ARE ALL PERFECT GRADE PROOF 70. ALL ULTRA CAMEO. THE HIGHEST GRADE YOU CAN GET. IN COIN GRADING WE USE SOMETHING CALLED THE SHELDON GRADING SCALE. AND BASICALLY WHAT IT IS, IT GOES FROM ONE ALL THE WAY TO 70. ONE BEING THE WORST QUALITY YOU CAN GET. YOU DON'T WANT A COINS GRADED OUT THE HIGHEST PINNACLE THAT ONE. YOU CAN ACHIEVE IS THE NUMBER 70. IN THIS CASE, A PROOF A COIN WITH A MIRRORED BACKGROUND, A COIN WITH A SATIN OR FROSTY IMAGE OF LIBERTY, WHAT WE CALL THE DEVICE. ANY PART OF THIS SILVER DOLLAR WITH RAISED LETTERING OR RAISED DESIGN IS KNOWN AS THE DEVICE OF THE COIN. IN ANY PART OF THE COIN THAT IS FREE OF ANY LETTERING, OR ANY DESIGN IS KNOWN AS THE FIELD. SO AS YOU LOOK AT THIS COIN RIGHT HERE, YOU SEE THE BACKGROUND APPEARS AS BLACK THE MINTAGE IS REALLY LOW, IT'S EVEN LOWER THAN A 1994, WHICH IS A KEY DATE IN THE SERIES. TAKE A LOOK, THE MINTAGE OF THE 1994 IS 372,000 168, THE 2021, 327,000. NOW TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. IN A PERFECT PROOF 70 GRADE, THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE UP AGAINST FOR A 1994, ALMOST $3000 AT AUCTION. HIGHER MINTAGE THAN THE COINS THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW. SO LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, RIGHT NOW, FOR THE COIN THAT HAS BEEN ANTICIPATED -- AND YOU KNOW, IT'S 35 YEARS IN THE MAKING FOR THIS COIN TO COME TO MARKET. IT'S THE LAST OF ITS KIND. THE REVERSE IS BEING RETIRED, SO NO MORE OF JOHN MERCANTI'S TRIBUTE TO THE ORIGINAL HERALDIC EAGLE REVERSE OF THESE EARLY AMERICAN SILVER DOLLARS THAT HE DESIGNED, THAT HE CRAFTED FOR THIS GREAT SILVER DOLLAR. AND HE DID THIS BACK IN 1986, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. THE LAST ONE RIGHT NOW. GET READY BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO KNOW, NOW THIS IS SERIOUS, WE HAVE A MAXIMUM QUANTITY ON THIS OF 25 COINS PER HOUSEHOLD, IF YOU WILL. HERE IS HOW WE ARE DOING IT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

IN A PERFECT PROOF 70 GRADE WITH AN AUTOGRAPH LABELED BY JOHN MERCANTI, THE DESIGNER OF THE REVERSE, WITH A SPECIAL RARE COLLECTIBLES TV SPECIAL LABEL, WHICH WE HAVE EXCLUSIVELY -- AND ONCE AGAIN I WANT TO SHOW YOU, FOLKS, WHY THIS IS SO EXCITING, WE ARE AT 379 FOR A SINGLE COIN. AND I HOPE YOU ARE ON THE LINE LOOKING TO GET QUANTITY, BECAUSE THERE IS QUANTITY PRICING. BUT I WANT TO SHOW YOU WHERE THE WORLD IS AT RIGHT NOW. WE ARE AT $379 FOR A SINGLE COIN. THERE IS A GREAT PRICE AT $490. I'M TELLING YOU, THAT IS A GREAT PRICE. BUT NOT AS GOOD AS RARE COLLECTIBLES. 379 FOR A SINGLE COIN. HERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUY FIVE COINS FOR 375 EACH. $1875, AND WE WILL SPLIT THAT INTO TWO EQUAL PAYMENTS OF $937.50. FOLKS, YOU CAN GET 10, 10 COINS. 10 COINS ARE GOING TO BE $369 EACH. $3690. AGAIN, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPLIT THAT $3690 INTO TWO EQUAL PAYMENTS OF $1845. THERE IS A LIMIT TO 25 COINS THAT YOU CAN ORDER. I MUST TELL YOU, THIS IS A MONUMENTAL EVENT IN THE HISTORY OF THESE COINS. NUMBER ONE, IT'S THE LAST ONE. 35 YEARS THIS SERIES HAS BEEN GOING STRONG, AND YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE FINAL EXAMPLE OF THE REVERSE. AND FOREVER MORE, FROM 1986 TO 2021, IT WILL BE CALLED TYPE ONE. MIDYEAR OF 2021, A TYPE TWO WILL BE ISSUED WITH A NEW REVERSE AND A NEW DESIGNER OF THAT REVERSE. BUT HERE IS AN EXCLUSIVE OPPORTUNITY. AND JUDGING BY THE FACT IN LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES, OVER 325,000 OF THESE COINS DISAPPEARED FROM THE MINT, SOLD OUT, THEY ARE NOT GOING TO LAST. WHY DOES EVERYBODY LIKE THIS COIN SO MUCH? THIS DESIGN WAS BROUGHT BACK UNDER THE LIBERTY COIN ACT SIGNED BY RONALD REAGAN IN 1985. THAT WAS THE LAW THAT WAS PASSED THAT ALLOWED THE TREASURY TO BEGIN STRIKING THE SILVER DOLLAR. THE SERIES HAS BEEN GOING STRONG SINCE 1986. THIS IS THE FINAL ADDITION TO THAT COLLECTION. SO RIGHT OFF THE BAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE THIS COIN, IT'S THE LAST ONE. COLLECTORS ALL OVER THE WORLD HAVE COME TO GET THIS COIN. THIS IS GROUNDBREAKING. A REVERSE THAT WAS DONE BY THE FATHER OF THE REVERSE OF THE AMERICAN SILVER EAGLE, JOHN MERCANTI. JUST THE 12TH CHIEF ENGRAVER AT THE U.S. MINT. HE STARTED AT THE U.S. MINT IN 1974. AND JOHN MERCANTI RETIRED IN 2010. THE ORIGINAL JOHN MERCANTI REVERSE, THAT HE CRAFTED IN THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE PROGRAM IN 1986, HAS GRACED THE REVERSE OF THIS DOLLAR SINCE THAT TIME. NO MORE, THIS IS THE FINAL ISSUE. SO NO WONDER THE COIN SOLD OUT IN RECORD TIME. NO WONDER OVER 327,000 OF THESE COINS WENT LIKE THAT. AS I WAS SAYING WE HAVE THE HIGHEST ATTAINABLE GRADE IN -- AND DESIGNATION FOR THESE COINS. A PERFECT PROOF 70 ULTRA CAMEO. THAT BLACK-AND-WHITE CONTRAST THAT YOU SEE DISPLAYING ON THE COIN IS THE CAMEO. IN THIS CASE, ULTRA CAMEO. AND IT IS THE HIGHEST DESIGNATION. SO, YOU ARE GETTING THE FINEST QUALITY ATTAINABLE. THERE'LL BE NO HIGHER QUALITY OR HIGHER GRADE. YOU ARE GOING TO WANT TO GET 30 OR 40 OF THESE. THERE IS A LIMIT OF 25. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. IF YOU BUY A SINGLE COIN, IF YOU BUY A DEAL OF FIVE OR A DEAL OF 10, YOU WILL RECEIVE THIS UNBELIEVABLE BOOK. THIS BOOK WAS AUTHORED BY JOHN MERCANTI. MYLES STANDISH CONTRIBUTED AS WELL. AND, THIS BOOK HAS AN ENTIRE HISTORY OF THIS GREAT SILVER DOLLAR. AND THIS BOOK WILL TAKE YOU THROUGH THE CREATION, THROUGH THE STRIKING, THROUGH THE DESIGN, THROUGH THE STORY, JUST SOME OF THE GREAT WORK THAT WAS DONE BY JOHN MERCANTI, IT JUST GUARANTEED A PERFECT PROOF 70 ISSUE. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, TODAY HAS BEEN A HISTORIC DAY OF NUMISMATICS. 1,800 COINS PER SECOND WENT OUT THE DOOR AT THE U.S. MINT. WE WERE IN LINE, WE GOT THEM, DON'T MISS OUT, DON'T WAIT BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING. ANNOUNCER: COINS ARE GRADED USING THE SHELDON SCALE FROM ONE TO 70. A HEAVILY CIRCULATED COIN MIGHT GRADE A4 FOR GOOD OR A 12 FOR FINE. THE BETTER QUALITY THE COIN THE HIGHER THE GRADE. AN AU, ABOUT UNCIRCULATED COIN WOULD RATE BETWEEN 50 AND 60. THE FINAL YEAR OF ISSUE, 2021 W TYPE ONE AMERICAN SILVER EAGLE S THAT WE ARE OFFERING TODAY, COME IN PROOF 70 ULTRA CAMEO CONDITION. THAT'S THE HIGHEST GRADE A COIN CAN RECEIVE. PROOF COINS ARE MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR COLLECTORS. THEY ARE STRUCK TWO OR THREE TIMES TO ENSURE A BEAUTIFUL FULL STRIKE. THESE COINS ARE INDIVIDUALLY HANDLED AND PACKAGED IMMEDIATELY SO THEY WILL RETAIN ALL OF THEIR BEAUTY AND QUALITY. AN ULTRA CAMEO DESIGNATION MEANS THAT A COIN HAS THE DARKEST POSSIBLE FIELDS AND THE BRIGHTEST, FROSTY WHITE DEVICES. THESE ARE THE COINS THAT WERE FIRST STRUCK OFF THE NEW DIES AND ARE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER. ON JULY 9, 1985, PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN SIGNED THE LIBERTY COIN ACT. JUST ONE YEAR AND FOUR MONTHS LATER, ON OCTOBER 28, 1986, THE FIRST AMERICAN SILVER EAGLE WAS STRUCK. EVER SINCE ITS RELEASE IN 1986, THE AMERICAN SILVER EAGLE HAS BECOME A GLOBAL NUMISMATIC SENSATION. THIS STUNNING COIN DISPLAYS JOHN MERCANTI'S ENHANCED RENDITION OF ADOLPH A. WEINMAN'S ICONIC WALKING LIBERTY DESIGN ON THE OBVERSE AND JOHN MERCANTI'S PERSONAL DESIGN OF THE HERALDIC EAGLE ON THE REVERSE. THE YEAR 2021 MARKS THE FINAL ISSUE OF THE AMERICAN SILVER EAGLE THAT WILL FEATURE JOHN MERCANTI'S HERALDIC EAGLE DESIGN ON THE REVERSE. THIS TRULY SIGNALS THE END OF AN ERA. AND LISTEN TO THIS. THE 2021 W TYPE ONE AMERICAN SILVER EAGLE HAS A MINTAGE OF JUST 327,440 COINS. THAT'S WHAT WE CALL ABSOLUTE RARITY. A COIN IS CONSIDERED TO HAVE ABSOLUTE RARITY WHEN IT'S MINTAGE IS SO LOW THAT FINDING THE COIN IN ANY CONDITION IS A TREMENDOUS FEAT. AND THAT IS NOT ALL. EACH OF THE 2021 W TYPE ONE AMERICAN SILVER EAGLES THAT WE ARE OFFERING TODAY WILL BE HAND SIGNED BY THE DESIGNER OF THE HERALDIC EAGLE, JOHN MERCANTI HIMSELF. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE. IF YOU ORDER RIGHT NOW, YOU WILL ALSO RECEIVE A COMPLIMENTARY COPY OF JOHN MERCANTI'S AWARD-WINNING BOOK ON THE AMERICAN SILVER EAGLE.
