Grading Gold Sovereigns

FDC - Fleur De Coin
Example of the coin grade FDC - Fleur De Coin, with photographs.
In our opinion, for a coin to described as FDC, it must be absolutely perfect.

Fleur De Coin - F.D.C. - About Uncirculated
We show photographs of the obverse and reverse sides of a Proof Elizabeth II sovereign. We grade this coin FDC (Fleur-de-Coin).
While it is possible for non-proof coins to be FDC, it is often difficult to find examples which are truly FDC.

Amazing Grades
To demonstrate how some dealers and collectors distort their grading, we also show the reverse of an 1821 which was graded as FDC by a fellow dealer, and which we only grade as Almost Uncirculated.
