Certified Acceptance Corporation (CAC)
In 2007, a group of prominent numismatists came together to establish the Certified Acceptance Corporation, commonly known as CAC. Their mission was to highlight coins of superior quality that could be considered top tier within their assigned grade. The green CAC sticker has been placed on PCGS or NGC graded coins that meet their stringent criteria. This sticker has become a widely respected mark, signaling the finest coins available on the market. Collectors highly covet these coins, often paying substantial premiums. In 2022, CAC expanded its offerings by starting to encapsulate coins that meet their exacting standards in their own holders, going beyond just providing a secondary opinion on coins graded by other services.

American Gold Eagle Series
The American Gold Eagle series, launched in 1986, quickly established itself as one of the most esteemed and widely recognized gold bullion coins globally. Each coin in this series represents not only a significant investment but also a symbol of American heritage and craftsmanship. The creation of the American Gold Eagle coins was mandated by the Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985, leading to the production of coins in four denominations: 1 oz, ½ oz, ¼ oz, and 1/10 oz. Each 1 oz Gold Eagle contains a full ounce (31.1 grams) of pure gold with a fineness of .9167, giving it an actual weight of approximately 33.93 grams or 1.091 troy ounces. The combination of its official U.S. government backing, durability, and fractional availability has made this series a favorite among collectors and bullion investors.

2025 1 oz American Gold Eagle Design
The 2025 American Gold Eagle continues the tradition of pairing the historic Saint-Gaudens design with the more recent Jennie Norris reverse. Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ design, celebrated for its artistic brilliance, was first featured on the $20 Gold Double Eagle and was on this coin from 1907 to 1933.It showcases Lady Liberty striding confidently forward, holding a torch and olive branch, symbolizing enlightenment and peace. It has been a staple of the U.S. Gold Eagles since their first release in 1986.

The reverse design, introduced in 2021, brought a modern touch to the series with a powerful depiction of the bald eagle, America’s national bird. Jennie Norris’ design emphasizes the strength and determination of this majestic creature, capturing the essence of American spirit. This was a part of a redesign of the American Eagle series and this design replaced Miley Busiek’s design that featured a family of eagles.
