Mercanti has the distinction of having produced more coin and medal designs than any other employee of the United States Mint, well over 100 designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003ePerhaps his most famous design is that of the heraldic eagle on the American Silver Eagle Bullion coin which was used on these coins between 1986 and 2021. Mercanti’s rendition of the Heraldic Eagle has a direct link to the original Heraldic Eagle design that was first used on America’s Silver Dollar coins from 1798 to 1804.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eHe also was responsible for the 1984 Olympic Ten Dollar Gold Coin, as well as the 1986 Statue of Liberty Silver Dollar, the 1989 Congress Bicentennial Five Dollar Gold Coin, the 1990 Eisenhower Centennial Silver Dollar, the 1991 Mount Rushmore Five Dollar Gold coin, the 1991 Korean War Memorial Silver Dollar and more than 100 others, including Five of the Fifty State Quarters.

He has signed a limited number of inserts for the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) on their certified American Gold and Silver Eagle bullion coins.
