<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 8196115, member: 101855&quot;]I have developed into &quot;a gold bug&quot; in my old age. I like these short lived $5 and $10 gold pieces. Here is the $10. The Canadian Government actually melted a number of these coins not too long ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1435606[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1435607[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Back when I was in high school, American collectors were forbidden to own the 1967 Canadian $20 gold piece. I&#039;ll bet a fair number were smuggled into the country.</p><p><br /></p><p>An example of the coin appeared on the cover of &quot;Coins&quot; magazine. The authors went to Canada to photograph it because they could not bring it into the United States. Although they said they took color photos, they ended up using a colorized black and white photo because, they said, it was a better representation of the coin. Such was life before digital photography.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1435609[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1435610[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Now there is so little interest in this beautiful coin that it sells for near melt. That&#039;s good for me. I got to buy one &quot;on the cheap&quot; a few years ago.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
