A coin from my collection

I had not been to the safety deposit box at the bank in a long time and needed to stop by to see the coins. I took a picture of this one to share. I can say that the coin looks amazing in hand (it almost doesnt look real) and I can stare at it for hours. Big proof gold is really something special. Anyway, thought I would share it. Thanks

    So that's where it is :). Thanks for sharing.

    That’s a family treasure. Few coins are as quintessentially special as proof 20s especially a DCAM

    Very nice (the coin not your pictures)

    Thanks and yes the pictures suck. I was in a tiny room at the bank with two masks on and trying not touch much lol. I took the picture quick and didnt look at it until I left. What cant be seen in the picture (especially the obverse) are the deep mirrors.

    I don't collect proofs, but something like that could perhaps someday wear me down and follow me home.

    lol. It looks like that from that picture but it has plenty of company. I took everything out of the SDB (mostly pcgs 20 coin boxes) to do a little inventory and then took the picture before loading the SDB back up.

    Thought you were going to show us a “real” coin like maybe a York Commemorative 🤪
    Was it a long time or just feel like a long time away from your baby ? Looks like a new holder.

    It has been about a year. Normally I will go "see" my coins frequently but with covid only on special occasions.

    @Gazes - Absolutely phenomenal! The only gold I own are in my various Type Sets, but none are proof. And yours is not only proof, but a Deep Cameo! And yours is not only a Proof Deep Cameo, but yours is one of the very few that merits the coveted CAC! As many of us know, only a VERY LOW percentage of graded gold coins can achieve getting a CAC sticker!!!!

    You should be VERY proud! ENJOY!

    @Gazes .... That is indeed a beautiful proof gold coin. I just love the big gold coins, and in proof... well... They are just the epitome of coin beauty (IMO). Cheers, RickO

    Thanks for all the comments. I almost didnt pull the trigger on this coin for one reason---I bought it at the start of covid and no one knew what would happen to the economy. I threw caution to the wind and bought it anyway (nervously). Interestingly it was probably the perfect time to buy since i think it would cost considerably more now. That being said I have no plans to sell.
