Detailed Overview
Introduction to the Coin The American Gold Eagle is the world's most popular gold bullion coin. Finding a genuine mint error on any Gold Eagle is rare. Finding one that has also been deemed a superior-quality example by CAC is an order of magnitude rarer, creating an asset prized by the most discerning collectors.
The Significance of CAC Founded by leading numismatists, CAC (Certified Acceptance Corporation) evaluates coins already graded by NGC or PCGS. Only coins that are solid, premium-quality examples for their assigned grade earn the green CAC sticker. A CAC sticker on a modern MS69 coin is particularly significant, as it distinguishes the coin as being a cut above the vast majority of others.
