<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3317903, member: 19463&quot;]I agree with the above completely.&nbsp; There is nothing to suggest there is or should be a FDC coin for every type.&nbsp; In fact, there are many very rare or unique types where the only surviving examples are horrid.&nbsp; The idea of grading coins with inflated words followed by &#039;for these&#039; is a ploy for dealers to charge more for ugly coins.&nbsp; The is no consensus on what is the best style especially on coins not from the periods known for the finest style.&nbsp; Those in love with Classical Greek coin style can not allow FDC for Archaic coins or, heaven forbid, Byzantine copper.&nbsp;&nbsp; Certainly there are many who collect only coins that are beautiful by their standards but it is not necessary to apply FDC to a 98% beautiful but still imperfect coin simply because you have never seen one better.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
