<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sunbird, post: 7979708, member: 116324&quot;]Hi all – In 2019 and 2020, there was a lot of <a href="https://www.coinworld.com/news/precious-metals/u-s-mint-to-redesign-gold-and-silver-american-eagles-implement-security-devices" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.coinworld.com/news/precious-metals/u-s-mint-to-redesign-gold-and-silver-american-eagles-implement-security-devices" rel="nofollow">coverage</a> about how the upcoming new silver and gold Eagles (2021 Type 2) were going to introduce new security features. Did the US Mint change plans? The new coins don&#039;t have any noteworthy security features. I&#039;ve heard of something to do with the reeded edge, but that doesn&#039;t seem significant.</p><p><br /></p><p>The announcements all spoke of <i>features</i>, plural. Are there any other features? There are no radial lines (see Maples), no undulating lines (see Britannias), no micro-features or laser engraving (see both Maples and Britannias), and no optical scanning-based technology like the Royal Canadian Mint&#039;s <b>Bullion DNA</b> or PAMP Suisse&#039;s <b>Veriscan</b>.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t see any features. See the Britannia below for contrast – it&#039;s loaded with security features:</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 18548]2021 Silver Eagle Type 2 by Sunbird posted Oct 29, 2021 at 5:10 PM[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 18549]2022 Silver Britannia by Sunbird posted Oct 29, 2021 at 5:10 PM[/GALLERY][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
