Has anyone purchased FDC for the Peace Reverse Nickels yet? What are your opinions? I'm not much of a FDC collector but the covers sure are pretty...
I haven't bought the FDC's. They sound like a neat collectible, but I usually only buy a coin based on it's individual merits. What I am looking forward to, are the coins that come out of Mint sets and Proof sets. Those will be the ones that I will want to add to my collections.
I bought the FDC. It's pretty neat. Unfortunately the P nickel has a noticeable bagmark of some kind on the obverse. But the overall presentation is nice.
A First Day Cover that has a coin in it is called a Phila-Numismatic Cover (or 'P.N.C'. for short).A First Day Cover that has a medal in it is called a Phila-Medallic Cover (or 'P.M.C'. for short).I don't collect them at all.If you want to collect them,then by all means,go ahead.The Reserve Bank of New Zealand puts out a lot of them,so I give them the widest berth possible.
