Back in 1967, these Canadian 100th anniversary $20 gold coins were the "forbidden fruit." U.S. collectors were not allowed to own them. The Canadian Government put out a Proof set with a medal in place of the gold piece.
"Coins" magazine set a reporter to Canada to take pictures. He met with a collector who let him photograph the coin which would ruin the U,S. economy if it crossed the border.
And from 1967 on there was always at least one complete set, including the gold, at every coin show in Detroit.

Happy birthday?
Here's another 1967 quarter, but with a twist: NGC 64RB:
A little surprised one of these hasn't been post yet.
