Certified Acceptance Corporation (CAC)
In 2007, a group of leading numismatists established the Certified Acceptance Corporation (CAC) with a clear mission: to identify coins of exceptional quality that stand out within their assigned grade. The green CAC sticker, applied to PCGS or NGC graded coins that meet these stringent criteria, has since become a mark of excellence in the numismatic community. Highly coveted by collectors, coins bearing the CAC sticker often command higher premiums. In 2022, CAC expanded its role by encapsulating coins that meet its high standards, offering an even greater level of assurance to collectors.

American Gold Eagle Series
Introduced in 1986, the American Gold Eagle series quickly became one of the most trusted and sought-after gold bullion coins worldwide. These coins serve as valuable investments and symbols of American tradition. The series was born from the Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985, which authorized the minting of gold coins in four denominations: 1 oz, ½ oz, ¼ oz, and 1/10 oz. Each 1 oz coin in the series contains one full ounce of pure gold (31.10 grams) with a fineness of .9167, resulting in a total weight of about 33.93 grams or 1.09 troy ounces. This, combined with the U.S. government's guarantee and the coin's historic significance, has made the American Gold Eagle a top choice among collectors and investors.

2025 1 oz American Gold Eagle Design
The 2025 American Gold Eagle continues the series' tradition of pairing the timeless Saint-Gaudens obverse with the modern Jennie Norris reverse. Saint-Gaudens' design, first seen on the $20 Gold Double Eagle, remains a powerful symbol of liberty, with Lady Liberty confidently striding forward, holding a torch and olive branch. The reverse, introduced in 2021, features a detailed close-up of the bald eagle, a symbol of America’s enduring strength. Jennie Norris’ design captures the majestic nature of this bird, reflecting the bold spirit of the nation it represents. It replaced Miley Busiek’s design featuring a family of eagles, which was on the coin since its inception in 1986.
