Looks like an escapee from a proof set, that found it's way into circulation.
Not a very rare occurrence.

Not a Proof , there are NO PROOF COINS
From Canada in 1967 . This coin has been removed
from a Black Specimen Set that contained the 20 Dollars
Gold Coin.
Rather typical for what emerges from those sets .
This has light marks , dings , scuffs as usually found .
Maybe SP64 Cameo in an ICCS holder , but no better!

ICCS would likely grade this SP64 to SP65 with either Heavy Cameo or Ultra Heavy Cameo. Nice coin but the cost of grading would likely outweigh the value of the coin.

The ones in the red cases that held the 100th Anniversary of Confederation Medallion tend to get really ugly as time passes.
Must have been a different composition to the black and red cases.
