Certified Acceptance Corporation (CAC)
Established in 2007 by a group of leading numismatists, the Certified Acceptance Corporation (CAC) was created to highlight coins of superior quality within their assigned grade. The green CAC sticker, awarded only to coins that meet CAC's exacting standards, has become a mark of excellence and is highly valued in the collector community. In 2022, CAC expanded its services by introducing its own encapsulation process, further cementing its role as a leader in coin grading and certification. Coins bearing the CAC sticker are often sought after and can command significant premiums due to their recognized quality.

American Gold Eagle Series
The American Gold Eagle series, first issued in 1986, has become a cornerstone of the gold bullion market, known for its reliability and iconic status. These coins serve as both secure investments and tributes to American heritage. The series was established under the Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985, resulting in the production of coins in 1 oz, ½ oz, ¼ oz, and 1/10 oz denominations. Notably, each 1 oz American Gold Eagle contains a full ounce (31.10 grams) of pure gold with a fineness of .9167, giving it a total weight of approximately 33.93 grams or 1.09 troy ounces. The coin's guaranteed gold content, backed by the U.S. government, has made it a popular choice for investors and collectors alike.

2025 1 oz American Gold Eagle Design
The 2025 American Gold Eagle continues the legacy of pairing the historic Saint-Gaudens design on the obverse with Jennie Norris' modern interpretation on the reverse. The obverse, first seen on the Gold Double Eagle and displayed on this coin from 1907-1933, features Lady Liberty confidently advancing forward, torch in one hand and olive branch in the other. The reverse, updated in 2021, focuses on the bald eagle, an enduring symbol of American resilience. Norris' design captures the power and grace of this iconic bird, encapsulating the spirit of the United States.

CAC MS-69
An MS-69 grade from CAC signifies a coin that is virtually perfect, with only minor, often unnoticeable imperfections. CAC’s stringent grading standards ensure that only coins of the highest quality receive their endorsement. While not entirely flawless like an MS-70, an MS-69 coin with a CAC sticker is still a highly sought-after piece, offering a balance of exceptional quality and slightly more affordability. Collectors and investors alike recognize the value and trust that comes with CAC certification.

CAC First Delivery
The First Delivery designation marks this coin as one of the earliest released from the U.S. Mint, having been shipped within the first 30 days of its release. Coins with this designation are particularly prized by collectors for their rarity and early release status. The First Delivery label often leads to higher premiums, as it adds an extra layer of collectibility and provenance, making these coins especially desirable.
