FS or FDC

Each coin comes in one of two versions. FDC (Uncirculated) indicates a coin that has never circulated, with a normal finish. FS (Proof) is a more careful striking, with fields polished like a mirror, which show fingerprints and scratches easily: it is best not to handle them with bare hands. The version is given in the name and on the product page.
