<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Andrew McCabe, post: 3314715, member: 90666&quot;]I agree. FDC literally means a flower of a coin. An FDC coin must be a perfectly centered strike of the finest style with perfect surfaces and toning. It doesn&#039;t have to be, and usually isn&#039;t, mint state. The average mint state coin is sharp but is not perfectly centered, is not of the finest style engraving and may not have perfect surfaces. Maybe 5% of mint state coins are capable of being FDC. Some EF coins may be considered FDC if they are of the finest style, perfect strikes and perfect surfaces and toning, especially if mint state coins aren&#039;t available with these characteristics. FDC means a perfect coin. 90% of mint state coins are far from perfect and some EF coins may be perfect (especially if mint state examples with perfect surfaces centering and style just don&#039;t exist)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
