5 LEADING THE PRECIOUS METALS ARENA WITH EXCELLENCE. SERVING OUR CLIENTS WITH A PASSION FOR INTEGRITY. The days have passed when a trained eye could identify a counterfeit with a simple assessment. Manufacturers of imitation coins are now using cutting-edge technology to give inferior metals the exact appearance and design of authentic precious metals coins and bars. Improvements in illegal reproduction technology include the duplication of national mints professional packaging, meaning that investors can t guarantee the authenticity of their graded and encapsulated precious metals. Apply absolute vigilance when investing in precious metals. Look into the background of your dealer. Make sure they are licensed and bonded with their state and have a clear track record of credibility. Whether you are investing in direct delivery of precious metals or rolling over a retirement plan into a Precious Metals IRA, Capital Gold will guarantee your metals for their origin and purity. 5

6 AUTHENTICATION PROCESS: IN-HOUSE DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY. WHETHER YOU RE PURCHASING PHYSICAL METALS THROUGH DIRECT DELIVERY OR ACQUIRING YOUR METALS IN A PRECIOUS METALS IRA, IT IS ESSENTIAL TO KNOW YOU HAVE PURCHASED FROM A REPUTABLE FIRM. Don t risk your retirement with ebay fakes or coin shop counterfeits. As a veteran coin and bar dealer, Capital Gold Group authenticates precious metals purity with in-house digital technology. In a three-step process, we assess the surface features, plating and main body of our metals. Our world-class metals assayers analyze our coins and bars firsthand with the assistance of non-destructive professional metal testers, including the Sigma Metalytics Precious Metals Verifier and the Bullion DNA Authentication unit from the Royal Canadian Mint. The Sigma Metalytics Verifier uses electromagnetic waves to authenticate coins and bars without the use of harmful acids, gels, or filing. These electromagnetic waves are able to penetrate 3 mm or more into the main body of coins and bars within seconds to assess the purity of the metal and identify attempts at plating. Uniquely, the Verifier can authenticate through plastic cases too so graded coins do not need to be removed from their protective holders. 6

COIN SYMBOLOGY WHAT DO COIN DESIGNS MEAN?

8 COIN SYMBOLOGY WHAT DO COIN DESIGNS MEAN? Originally designed in 1907, your new American Eagle Coin features the Augustus Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle obverse design. The first version featured 46 stars, representing each state in the union, including the brand new state of Oklahoma. Designers used the motto of One State, One Star, and in 1986 your coin included all 50 stars. One of the most stunning pieces of symbolism is the full screen view of the sun s rays approvingly shining on Madam Liberty and the dome of our United States Congress in the background. 8

9 Firmly grasped in Madam Liberty s left hand is the olive branch, which is the universal sign of peace. Just a hair below the mint date, you ll notice the small initials ASG. This is the humble signature of your coin s designer, Augustus Saint-Gaudens. 9
