Pretty coin.

Never photograph proofs naked!

 

It was pretty straight forward to flip the top off it.

Still, with proof pieces it's best not to open the capsule. They may turn into "ex-proof" then. Wait ... this is a colored piece ... errm, yes, open the capsule, take the coin out and hold it firmly in your hands.

Dispite what the Philistines say Ruben a lovely coin

 

If you really want to appreciate a proof coin you should take it out of the container for a moment. Just don't touch the face. Its still a metal coin you know, and won't vaporize if touched.

I like it. Coincidentally, that is the only colorized proof I do like, because the coin isn't too ostentatious and the blue-ringed octopus is such an interesting animal. I nearly bought one to give as a Christmas present.
