What is this?

I might be putting the stoopid hat on and sitting in the corner after this, but has anybody ever heard of these?

I are lookin for my hat Jack.
May I join you?

 

I am just guessing here before I run off to find my pointy D hat.
FDC is probably the initials of the coin shop that sold the coin

 

Or it came from a first day cover stamp envelope says he as he puts on the round pointy hat.

 

okay, in the old days (think-- pre-1980's & before) the term FDC stood for Fleur De Coin.
Meaning, an unusually nice example of the coin, date, type.

Back even further, I believe (faintly remember) that it referred to a special production coin (usually French) as an example to then production coins.

It did NOT mean First Day Cover.

 

Just another selling term like "WOW", "L@@K", etc.

 

One hat, please !

 

FDC= Fleur du Coin, but this only applies to proof coins and coins that are absolutely perfect, without any marks, wear or blemishes.

:rolling:
Any hats left?

 

Love these quotes:

I AM SELLING ALL MY COINS FROM MY INHERITANCE AT NO RESERVE

then:

items sold as is and all sales final as estate settlement does not allow for returns

If they are his coins from his inheritance, how does the "estate settlement does not allow for returns"?

BS.

 

I don't get it. This is a $25.00 coin..Right?

 

Less then that, I better sell the few I have I did not know they were worth that muchhya:

 

FDC is all you need to say when the coin is in almost perfect (mint condition). It is still a very valid way of grading a coin...misused on this coin.

 

What looks like a finger print on the obverse field above LIBERTY must be Victor Brenner's to bring the price up like that.
