I picked up my first CAC Ratt Gold coin at the 2026 Central States show. It was for my Classic Head $5 set. It planted a seed.
.
While attending the 2026 ANA I decided to start a project. See how many CAC Ratt Gold Coins I could find. They had to be reallyh nice to be added. I was able to get coins from John at CRO, Big Apple Coins and a few others. I was able to find a number of them. I added one upgrade at the GACC show. The QE Indian is one of my favorites so I will try to get as many of these as I can.
.
Down to the Type 2 $1 Gold Dollar, the $3 Princess, the $5 Indian and the $20 Liberty for the 12 coin set. Not bad for a month in.

That's a fun set, and still enough rattlers around to make it doable.
I once completed a 144 piece classic commemorative set in all rattlers. The last couple coins were very difficult to find. This 12-piece set is a fun idea.
Thanks @Kove I currently have 62 of the classic Commems in CAC Ratts as well. One year in and having a blast.

All nice looking pieces, well done!

Your hobby is supposed to be your therapy, not the reason you need it.
Those are some pretty coins @pcgscacgold.
All good coins, very nice set! Good luck on obtaining the rest (:

Incredibly beautiful and appealing set. Thanks for sharing with us. Seems like a fun venture especially the short time frame. I've seen a couple $3 rattlers this last year, they should pop up sometime.

I already had a 64CAC Ratt $10 Indian but love the design so much I grabbed this one when Victor (Ohio Numismatics) posted it. Not sure if he is a forum member but thought I would give a plug. Great place to do business. The luster in hand is outstanding.

Newest addition to the set. Coming along very well. This one came from @nencoin . I was very surprised I was able to grab it. Newps like this don't last long on NEN's website.

Fantastic coin @pcgscacgold. I think $5 Indians are beautiful coins. I also have a 1909-D in a rattler. No sticker though -- at least not yet -- it hasn't been there yet.
Awesome coins! When you doing this with gold cac?! 😜
That time would have been about 2 years ago. I think I missed the boat there.
