The 2021 Silver Eagle comes from the first 400 Boxes of the Eagle Landing design "Type 2".  The first production of the new series.  This series was quietly announced by the US Mint to the Authorized Purchasers and is reported by the major coin publications as follows:

• "U.S. Mint releases last and first 2021 American Eagle bullion coins" By Paul Gilkes, Coin World Aug 20, 2021, 5 PM
• "US Mint APs Offered First and Last Runs of 2021 American Eagle Bullion Coins" By Mike Unser, Coin News Aug 13, 2021
• "Planned sale of the last and first American Eagle Silver and gold one-ounce bullion coins to Authorized Purchasers" by Press Release, Coin Update Aug 16, 2021 

This is the first time that the United States Mint has specifically designated the first production of any coin made by the Mint. This is an historic coin, and it is befitting that it is designated by an historic program. The first coins of an historic new series.  Participate in one of the most important sets in United States Mint history.   The historic importance of this coin has led us to add this coin to the Premier Select Series.  

The Premier Select Series is a series of coins that hold a special place in numismatic circles due to their uniqueness.  The US Mint designation of this coin as first production and first 400 boxes for the new design of the American Silver Eagle make this an extremely unique coin.  The Premier Select Series label used only for this series of coins calls attention to its place in history.

The 2021 Silver Eagle is the first bullion (business strike) silver eagle to feature the new Eagle in Flight reverse design.  The American Silver Eagle has featured the Heraldic Eagle design since its inception in 1986.  The new Eagle in Flight design was announced in 2019 to begin in in 2021, but 2020 happened.  This caused the new design not to be ready at the beginning of 2021, and its release was delayed until July 2021.
