Each certification I earned contributed something different and added value but what add the most so far is PMP followed by ACP.

If I have to be honest none of my certifications did anything for my career, it did do a lot for the companies I worked for since they would use your qualifications/certifications to proof that they are worthy of the job during a bid process. I guess it will be different from company to company. Some value development, other could not give a hoot. Why did I pursue it? Self development. Each one taught me something different but I've never used 95% of any book knowledge. Since you are an agile coach I would probably say that something like ACP or CSPO would be relevant to you for connecting to peers in your field.

To prepare for the PMP is very helpful to give yourself some pressure to get a good overview about the PM methods.
Currently I give me the pressure by preparing for the PMI-ACP. I think that it is more and more important to have a good understand of the agile mindset and related methods.

I would say PMP, but most importantly how you use it, how you create value among your circle being a PMP. However, these days with an age of transformation, ACP is also coming off age. So I reckon, if you are a PMP and ACP both, it gives you more edge and if you know how to use them, it will be an icing on the cake!

PMP certification.
It is what basically PMI meant for.
It added values to my project management knowledge.
As Asif commented, It gives us structured approach to our work.
It gives us a lot of confidence to network professionally as well as socially.

Undoubtedly, it's PMP. The curriculum helps to gain a deep understanding of the project management processes, knowledge areas and key documentation needs and the certification in my opinion holds a great value in industry when combined with the necessary experience.
