<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2389828, member: 19463&quot;]I understand that this may be an exceptional coin for a type usually seen much worse but I fail to see the need to call a coin missing so much legend FDC.&nbsp; A coin can be wonderful in many, many ways but FDC means that there can be none better.&nbsp; What would you call a coin with legends?&nbsp; I have a couple coins that are better than any other specimen I have seen but still only VG or Fine.&nbsp; That does not mean that they are &quot;EF for type&quot; it just means that you probably won&#039;t find a better one.&nbsp; Today I&#039;m watching a sale close lot by lot (so far won two but missed the one I wanted most) and am amazed at the prices nice example of ordinary types bring while things I have not seen go more cheaply.&nbsp; I can see why this coin might go unsold in a Roma sale where the clientele might be looking for something &quot;perfect&quot; rather than &quot;great for this&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
