<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1848660, member: 26302"]Also, as clarification as to how we are different than US coins. we simply do not CARE why a coin is deficient. Detail is missing because of wear/weak strike/worn die/corrosion/etc it DOESN"T MATTER. If I see a dealer trying to pull the old "weak strike" crud with an ancient, I immediately walk away and refuse to buy anything from him. We only care about details on the coin, how many are left, not the reason why. I honestly believe its a much better system than US collectors use.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, I should have said FDC is our term for a MS coin. Its french. A FDC ancient is extremely rare, and pricey. I do not own one I do not believe, but own some gXF coins. In US parlance, a FDC would be a MS64+, while my gXF coins would probably rate anywhere from AU58-MS63.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

We only care about details on the coin, how many are left, not the reason why. I honestly believe its a much better system than US collectors use. Btw, I should have said FDC is our term for a MS coin. Its french. A FDC ancient is extremely rare, and pricey. I do not own one I do not believe, but own some gXF coins. In US parlance, a FDC would be a MS64+, while my gXF coins would probably rate anywhere from AU58-MS63.[/QUOTE]
