<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 7012702, member: 19463"]If this coin is FDC then we need a term for coins that really are unimprovable. IMO, if you look at a coin and can say, "Oh, I wish it did not have that.......(fill in the blank - this coin has several options)" the coin is <u>not</u> FDC. Those my age or similar may remember the TV show 'Happy Days'. A running joke was the character Fonzie looking in a mirror and holding a comb in his hand but not touching his hair. It was already perfect. I propose, if we must accept poor style and flan cracks on a FDC coin, that we should now call what I previously considered FDC to be a 'Fonzie'. If you can't imagine an improvement and if you stick your comb in your pocket without use, let the label read 'FONZ'. I would be interested in a report on the realization of this coin. It will prove nothing other than whether there are two or more rich people who do not care about the style/cracks etc. but it still will be interesting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
