Will the Coins I Buy from APMEX Already be CAC Graded? 

Are the Coins at APMEX Graded by CAC?

We carry a wide selection of coins and currency at APMEX. This includes many coins graded by Professional Coin Grading Services (PCGS) and the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) that have been certified by the Certified Acceptance Corporation.

The Certified Acceptance Corporation (CAC) was founded by members of the numismatic world who saw a need for higher standards of grading. The CAC verifies coins that have already been graded and rewards those who meet their quality and authenticity standards with a CAC hologram sticker.

Are All Coins Sold by APMEX CAC Certified?

APMEX offers a wealth of choices at a competitive price, so every coin collector can find coins and collectibles within their budget.

The Certified Acceptance Corporation only verifies coins already graded by grading organizations like PCGS and NGC. While we proudly carry many coins certified by major grading organizations, we also offer ungraded coins of nearly every variety and type.

Why Would I Want to Buy Ungraded Coins?

Some collectors want to buy raw coins. Raw coins are less expensive than graded coins.  

Buying ungraded coins allows collectors on a budget to afford coins that could be cost-prohibitive in higher grades. Some numismatists seek out ungraded coins that display high eye appeal, hoping to sell them for a handsome profit after grading.

Finally, some collectors may simply enjoy the beauty and gleam of coins displayed in a specific holder or presentation case.

Whether your interest is in NGC-Graded Morgan dollars or in ungraded America the Beautiful quarters, APMEX has what your collection is missing.

Quick Guides to Investing

Step 1:

Why Buy Physical Gold and Silver?

If you are concerned about the volatility of the stock market, you’re not alone. The extreme highs and lows of the stock market often lead investors towards safe-haven assets, like bullion. Historically, the Precious Metals market has an inverse relationship with the stock market, meaning that when stocks are up, bullion is down and vice versa.

Step 2:

How Much Gold and Silver Should You Have?

This question is one of the most important for investors to answer. After all, experts suggest limits on how much of any types of investments should go into a portfolio. After deciding to purchase and own Precious Metals and considering how much money to allocate, one can then think about how much and what to buy at any point in time.

Step 3:

Which Precious Metals Should I Buy?

With the frequent changes in the market and countless Precious Metal products available, choosing investments can be difficult. Some want Gold or Silver coins, rounds or bars while others want products that are valuable because of their design, mintage or other collectible qualities. Also, collectors may shop for unique sets and individual pieces for their collections.

Step 4:

When to Buy Gold & Silver

After considering why, how much, and what Precious Metals products to buy, an investor’s next step is when to buy them. This decision requires an understanding of market trends and the impact of economic factors on precious metal prices.
